1. Development of the heart

   • External shape
   • Sinus venousus
   • Atrioventricular canal
   • Interatrial septum
   • Interventricular septum
   • Bulbus cordis
   • Truncus arteriosus
   • Aortic arches

2. Edema

   • Mechanism
     • Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
     • Hypoalbuminemia
     • Lymphatic obstruction
     • Increased capillary permeability

3. Congestive heart failure

   • Inability of the heart to keep up with the demands on it, with failure of the heart to pump blood with normal efficiency.
