What is the best clification for this abnormal heart?

Gross examination of the heart from an autopsy of a 38-year-old man who was a long-term alcoholic and died from congestive heart failure reveals the heart to be markedly enlarged, banana shaped, and flabby, with are multiple small mural thrombi present. No abnormalities of the cardiac valves are seen. The coronary arteries are within normal limits.
