    1. Cardiomyopathy – heart muscle disease
    2. Cardiovascular disease – disease of the blood vessels of the heart
    3. Congenitial heart disease – malformation of the heart present at birth
    4. Heart failure
    5. Hypertensive heart disease – damage caused by high blood pressure
    6. Inflammatory heart disease – inflammation of the heart muscle
    7. Valvular heart disease – damage to the heart valves
    (8. Coronary heart disease – build up of plaque in the blood vessels of the heart)

    - in response to another_guy_named_steve’s comment -
    There are lots of subtypes of each category of these conditions but these are the main types. I don’t think anyone could count all the different subtypes.

    Black Nightshade lumps Congenital Heart Disease into one big category, but there are 35 different heart defects that can be considered CHD… and variations of each one.
