The process whereby a neural crest cell acquires the specialized features of a glial cell of the heart. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the heart over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a glial cell of the heart. The commitment of cells to cardiac glial cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into cardiac glial cells. The process aimed at the progression of a cardiac glial cell over time, from its formation to the fully functional mature cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a glial cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized structural and/or functional features of a cell that will form part of the cardiac organ of an individual. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
