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. There are also a number of functional disorders of the heart in which its function or action is altered, or in which symptoms are referred to the heart, but in which no actual damage to or lesions in the heart are discoverable. Heart trouble may be primary, or secondary to other diseases.

Heart disease is not one but many diseases. Nor is the heart alone involved. The blood vessels and the kidneys, and sometimes other organs, are also affected. 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.

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.

Anemia signifies a decrease in the number of circulating red blood cells. It may be due to blood loss (open or hidden bleeding) or increased blood destruction (in the spleen), to faulty nutrition (e.g. lack of iron in the diet), poisons that depress the activity of the bone marrow, or other causes. Bone marrow, which makes blood, may be injured by heavy metal poisoning and some drugs, overdoses of X-ray, and tumors.

Polycythemia means an increase in the number of circulating red blood cells or in the iron content of these cells. Sometimes this is a compensation for high altitudes or other conditions that decrease the normal oxygen supply. True polycythemia, however, is the result of abnormal production of red blood cells by the bone marrow. In this condition the blood often becomes heavier and stickier than normal, flows more slowly, clots too readily. The patient’s face looks constantly flushed and slightly blue. Treatment includes irradiation of the bone marrow, bleeding, and the use of some drugs.
