Is that categorically true? I'll have to do some digging, but
I'm pretty sure that enlargement is not unusual in people who do
a lot of aerobics, and not pathological either. When it occurs
in untrained people, that's something else again.

I was referring to untrained people, but I do not think the degree of
enlargement in trained is comparably as large---I will check on that and the
parameters of athlet's slow and accepable rate with good cardiac output.
