Hi there Tammy sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Firstly, you need to make an appointment to discuss your treatment if any, going forwards, I'm not sure if the letter suggests the next steps. If it doesn't then make an appointment at your GP to move this forwards. Secondly it's normally the right side that is larger due to the way the heart pumps blood around the body but again discuss this at your appointment.

Take care Mark

I'd make an appointment with your gp to ask. The BHF helpline may also have some information 0300 330 3311, open Mondays to Friday
