title: [The differential diagnosis of heart failure (author's transl)].
abstract: The causes of heart failure may be classified into three groups, hemodynamic causes, disturbances of cardiac rhythm and conduction and diseases of the myocardium. Accordingly the different causes of heart failure are discussed and the technics for diagnosis reviewed. Particular diagnostic problems are mentioned, which may arise in connection with cardiac echinococcosis, atrial myxoma, sarcoid heart disease and myocardial aneurysm.
