- For the second question: Endocarditis is the inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocardium) which can be due to bacterial infection. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood. Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium (the sac around the heart).
