title: [Pathology of cardiac insufficiency].
abstract: Giving introductory examples of autopsied cases the variable spectrum of the different forms and temporary dynamics of cardiac insufficiency are discribed. In the following chapter the etiology is discussed from the point of view of general pathology. The pathogenesis of cardiac insufficiency is discussed by taking in consideration of the "energy problem". Disturbances of the supply, the production, the utilization and the transposition of energy, which are to be morphologically detectable with various methods looking upon different structures, lead at least to the insufficiency of the myocardial contraction.
