Not sure if enlarged heart means thickened heart or dilated heart. If thickened heart, the answer is no, if dilated heart, ~ 40% recover granting the initial insult that caused the dilation is dealt with and treated.

With proper cardiac regimen including diet & exercise ejection fraction can improve. Also noted some reduction of cardiac size. However it depends on how much the damage had occurred. The earlier treatment, the better it is.
