Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think an enlarged heart is what killed Marc Vivien-Foe (sp?) on the field in a soccer game a few years back. It also killed a 14 year old who was playing rugby league in a local football comp in New South wales.

He's got an enlarged aortic root.
That is eventually fatal for everyone, with athletes having increased cahnces of aortic rupture due to high heart strain.
Turiaf is probably lucky in his misfortune, because if he was not a basketball player, and not so thoroughly examined by Lakers doctors, the problem would still be unknown, he would have no correcting surgery and he would most likely die sometime in th efuture, without even knowing why.
So his luck/misfortune is really a matter of perspective.

So after surgery, is his chances of death significantly decreased, or is it still fatal even after the surgery?

huh.... Enlarged Heart? Doesn't that help you circulate blood easier, making you have more stamina? 'Cause I heard Lance Armstrong's training made his heart size increase (or was it capacity? meh.. not good with sciencey stuff..) and they said it helps his stamina or something.... so dunno..
