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.

I don’t think it’s the heart getting “bigger”. It’s the heart getting stronger and able to pump blood easier
