"Cardiomyopathy can enlarge the heart. It may be viral or chemically induced by alcohol or drugs, including those prescribed by an MD."

Enlargement of the heart can also be caused by athletes who overdo the exercise. This also causes a slow pulse. I don't think this the case in Russert't death.

Yup. I think that's what killed Hank Gathers, basketball player at Loyola in 1993.
