This autopsy specimen was taken from another patient who had cardiac hypertrophy and congestive heart failure that resulted in dilation of the cardiac chambers. This heart was markedly enlarged (700 grams) but the congestive failure leads to dilation of the chambers and thinning of the wall. Note the marked dilation of both the left (1) and right (2) ventricular chambers.

A normal heart weighs 300 grams (range: 270 to 360 grams).
