This very large heart has a globular shape because all the chambers are dilated. It felt very flabby and the myocardium was poorly contracted. This is an example of cardiomyopathy.

The term is used to refer to a disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium) becomes weak and unable to contract with sufficient force (decreased contractility resulting in decreased stroke volume) to provide adequate perfusion (decreased cardiac output) for the body cells, but no specific histological data are available.

In all my days at the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust, we never had a case like that

It's best to have a big heart only in its figurative sense
