Dilated cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disorder defined by the presence of a dilated and poorly functioning left ventricle in the absence of abnormal loading conditions (hypertension, valve disease) or ischaemic heart disease sufficient to cause global systolic impairment. The main objective of our study is to evaluate the changes of heart wall by gross morphometric measurements in DCM patient?s heart samples and compare these with the control heart samples and our study is mainly focused in the regions of North India. Previous studies do not sufficiently reveal the anatomical variation of the heart musculature wall in DCM patients from North India.
