Wow, he was so young. Why can't physicals tell if someone has an enlarged heart?
RIP

My guess is it's probably one of those things they can only tell by looking at it.

A basketball player at a university in my hometown died of an enlarged heart a few days ago. It sounds like a cardiac ultrasound (or whatever appropriate test) needs to be part of the standard athletic physical.
