My guy friends dad has a swollen heart..... but l DＮ〒have a understanding with whut that means.What are the effect.. And does he live or die... how long.. Why. whut happens .. Whut causes it...

a swollen heart will reduce the capacity of blood it can hold. This means lower blood pressure and may prevent oxygen from getting to parts of the body that require it.

If it was extremely swollen this could cause death but this is unlikely now that he is receiving medical attention.
The doctors can provide drugs to reduce the swelling and ensure that his circulation is sufficient to sustain his body.

Frankii - ''swollen'' is not a medical term used to describe a heart. The closest possibility is an ''enlarged'' heart. The most common cause of an enlarged heart is arteriosclerosis or routine hardening of the arteries that is common as people get older. It is often found along with high blood pressure (hypertension). There r several other causes. All this means is that there is a strain on the working of the heart which often leads to some shortening of an expected long life. It can end with a heart attack or heart failure. There is no exact timing.
