AB  - Diseases  of  the  heart  fit  into  several  general  categories:  congenital  heart  disease,  ischemic  heart  disease,  valvular  diseases,  and  diseases  of  the  myocardium  (i.e.,  cardiomyopathies).  Pericardial  diseases  and  cardiac  tumors  are  an  additional  small  subset  of  conditions  affecting  the  heart.  A  common  manifestation  of  many  different  forms  of  heart  disease  is  congestive  heart  failure  (CHF).  In  general  terms,  congestive  heart  failure  is  the  inability  of  the  heart  to  pump  enough  blood  to  supply  the  body's  oxygen  requirements.  It  can  represent  failure  of  cellular  adaptation  (e.g.,  decompensated  hypertrophy  due  to  hypertension  or  chamber  dilation  due  to  regurgitant  valves)  or  the  outcome  of  myocardial  damage  caused  by  other  diseases  (e.g.,  scarring  due  to  ischemic  injury,  inflammation,  or  accumulation  of  iron  in  hemochromatosis).
