When we talk about heart disease, we usually mean cardiovascular or cardiovascularenal disease, «cardio» for heart, «vascular» for blood vessels, «renal» for kidneys. When damage or change occurs in any part of this system, it is reflected in the other parts.

There are at least 20 kinds of organic heart disease that actually affect the heart muscle, the valves of the heart, or its inner or outer lining.

Heart trouble may be primary, or secondary to other diseases.

The most common and serious forms of organic heart disease are those affecting the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. These diseases are usually associated with high blood pressure (hypertension) and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis). A heart attack is usually a case of coronary thrombosis. Heart failure may be a late consequence of any of these conditions, or others. This group of heart troubles is predominantly, but not exclusively, associated with the middle and later years of life.

Infections present the second large class of causes of organic heart disease. Rheumatic fever, or rheumatic heart disease, associated with certain streptococcal («strep») infections, once headed the list. Syphilis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, typhoid, and other fevers can injure the heart. Fortunately, these diseases can usually be treated (or prevented) before they cause heart damage. Before the advent of antibiotics, bacterial endocarditis, in which the inner lining of the heart, the endocardium, is directly infected, was usually fatal.
