    Did she suffer from high blood pressure. It is normally caused by the extra work the heart has to do through BP, Aortic stenosis or strong exercise,

    Control the BP and it and it can revert to normal size,

    Hi Michelle

    Of course you are going to be anxious having just lost your mother and quiet normal to feel worried. However it doesnt automatically follow that because your mother had it that you will. It isnt necessarily genetic especially as your mother is the only one to have experienced this. Worry wont help you. Try and relax. Because your mother had this you and your Dr will be aware so that if ever you suffer from any kind of arrhythmia you will get a thorough check to prevent this happening to you. Take time to come to terms with the loss of your mother and try not to worry.
