Dilated Left Ventricle

Dilated Left Ventricle

Hi, i have a son 17 years old now, he had coarctation of the aorta at age 7. On his checkup July 1st, the Dr. told me  his left ventricle is bigger at 6.4cm. from 5.1cm three years ago. The doctors do not see a clear explanation for why the ventricle is more dilated. He doesn't show the symptoms of dizziness, headaches, chest paint, or nosebleeds which they say are the signs. He was prescribed 2 medicines Lanoxin(.25mg.daily and Enalapril. (10mg. twice a day)
Is there any severe issues I need to cautious of? and what kind of test should he undergo?
