Abstract
In severe dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), the left ventricular volume is much larger than that of a normal heart (1). Thus it can accumulate a larger amount of blood in the LV cavity than normally, and thus will weigh more than the normal heart (Heavy Heart). This entity, and its relationship to aspects of congestive heart failure (CHF) are presented.
