Why is cardio exercise recommended if the heart is a muscle and can become “too big” or “too strong”?

Cardio exercises are great for you, but I’m confused. Since the heart is a muscle, does exercising it make it grow bigger, which could lead to heart disease?

My father has a enlarged heart and this question crossed my mind.

It makes your cardiovascular system much more efficient like ‘Oh, i don’t need 160 bpm to climb a few stairs’.
