AB  - Cardiac  physiology  in  a  normal  child  is  an  elegant  balance  requiring  many  components  to  work  on  an  interactive  basis.  In  children  with  congenital  or  acquired  heart  disease,  some  of  those  parts  do  not  function  properly  from  the  start;  others  develop  problems  with  time  or  under  duress.  This  chapter  begins  with  a  discussion  of  the  syndrome  of  heart  failure.  The  pathophysiology  of  heart  failure  is  reviewed,  followed  by  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  left  heart  failure  (including  heart  transplantation).  This  is  followed  by  a  more  detailed  discussion  of  the  primary  conditions  that  can  lead  to  heart  failure.  We  explore  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  various  forms  of  cardiomyopathy,  a  set  of  intrinsic  cardiac  muscle  disorders  with  often  overlapping  phenotypes.  Finally,  we  present  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  right  heart  failure  as  a  manifestation  of  pulmonary  hypertension.
