Are you asking about abnormal heart rhythms or conditions? Here are some types of heart diseases related to abnormal heart conditions:

Arrhythmias
- Atrial Fibrillation: Irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase the risk of strokes, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.
- Ventricular Tachycardia: Rapid heartbeat in the ventricles that does not allow them to fill with blood properly.
- Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia: Racing heartbeat originating in the atria that starts and stops abruptly.
- Bradyarrhythmia: Slower than normal heartbeat.

Cardiomyopathy
- Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Begins with an enlarged left ventricle and can lead to an enlarged right ventricle and atria.
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Caused by abnormal genes, leading to a thicker than usual left ventricle.
- Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: The heart muscle becomes rigid due to scar tissue.
- Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy: Normal heart tissue in the right ventricle is replaced with scar tissue, causing arrhythmias.

Heart Inflammation
- Endocarditis: Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart and valves.
- Myocarditis: Inflammation of the heart muscle itself.
- Pericarditis: Inflammation of the sac that surrounds the heart.

These conditions can affect the heart's ability to pump blood effectively and may require lifelong treatment. If you have any specific symptoms or conditions in mind, please let me know!
