Heart disease is one of a number of different diseases which afflict the heart. The most common heart diseases are:
- Coronary heart disease, the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium
- Ischaemic heart disease, a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart.
- Cardiovascular disease, a class of diseases that involve the heart and/or blood vessels (arteries and veins).
- Pulmonary heart disease, a failure of the right side of the heart.

Anatomy of torso, cardiovascular system: heart | |
---|---|
Structures |
atria (interatrial septum, musculi pectinati) • ventricles (interventricular septum, trabeculae carneae, chordae tendinae, papillary muscle) • valves • cusps |
Regions |
base • apex • grooves (coronary/atrioventricular, interatrial, anterior interventricula, posterior interventricular) • surfaces (sternocostal, diaphragmatic) • borders (right, left) |
Right heart |
(vena cavae, coronary sinus) → right atrium (auricle, fossa ovalis, limbus of fossa ovalis, crista terminalis, valve of the inferior vena cava, valve of the coronary sinus) → tricuspid valve → right ventricle (conus arteriosus, moderator band/septomarginal trabecula) → pulmonary valve → (pulmonary artery and pulmonary circulation) |
Left heart |
(pulmonary veins) → left atrium (auricle) → mitral valve → left ventricle → aortic valve (aortic sinus) → (aorta and systemic circulation) |
Layers |
pericardium: fibrous pericardium • serous pericardium (pericardial cavity, epicardium/visceral layer) • pericardial sinus |
Conduction system |
Cardiac pacemaker • SA node • AV node• bundle of His • Purkinje fibers |
