I would check to see if they did their calculations correctly.   Did anyone tell you to stop exercising?

of course the test is right..I mean its not uncommo9n for an athlete to get an enlarged heart,and that's basically what seems to be the case if my educatio9n is up to speed..Im just confused on the score and TID RATIO..

If you are not comfortable with the recommendations of your current physician or if your current physician cannnot/will not explain the test findings to you, I recommend that you seek a second opinion from a cardiologist at an academic medical center.  If you do seek a second opinion, it is very important that you bring the reports from your previous tests, including lab tests and the images from any cardiac tests (such as echocardiograms) that you have received.
