Current concepts of the structure and function of the heart lymphatic bed and role of the disturbance of lymph circulation in cardiac pathology are presented. The original clinical and experimental results obtained with the use of injection, stereoangioscopic and electron microscopic methods are summarized. General rules of the compensatory-adaptive and pathologic rearrangement of the damaged lymph drainage in the process of chronic lymphostasis development and the reversibility of these changes are described. The classification of the disturbances of the heart lymph circulation is considerably modified.
