Question: My doctor said I have very large hands and it might be linked to some sort of problem with my heart.?
Answers:
it sounds like it could be Marfan Syndrome. My roommate has it, and you just described him to a T. He had to get a replacement heart valve at about 45 years old. I linked a couple of things about it, The Marfan website has lots of pics of people with this disease. ask yourself if you look like any of them.

It could be acromegaly. Acromegaly is when a person's body makes too much growth hormone, or keeps making the hormone after you're full grown. It causes a lot of problems, including abnormalities of the heart. One of the symptoms is very large hands, but there are other symptoms. Look it up and read about it.
ask him to follow up on it
