Heart Enlarged at 13months baby

My daughter died on 26th Feb this year. She was 13months old.
When she was 7months, she has started vomiting upto 11times in an half an hour. She continued this problem more often but when I took to see a Doctor the results were good. But when she was 10months she had increasing heart beats and rapidly breathing, I took her to see a Doctoe and it was Pneumonia, she was given an Antibiotic  injections for 5days. But the rapid breathing remained the same. on 24th Feb, the Doctor decided to do a chest X-ray and it showed the heart enlarged upto 19cm. Also the lungs tissue are only few remarkable. After 2 days, she died. Is this the symptoms of Congenital heart disease?? Please help me. If u need more clarification please ask me.Thanks

Sometimes an infection can enter the heart and cause damage. Considering she was sick shortly before, I wonder if that was the case. If she's been in average to good health before all this started, it almost sounds like the illness and heart problems were related. The doctor may be able to explain it better.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I can't imagine the sorrow and loss you feel.
