epicardium

Adults have also been found in nodules on the epicardium of the heart.

When this layer comes into contact with the heart (not the great vessels), it is known as the epicardium.

The epicardium is the layer immediately outside of the heart muscle proper (the myocardium).

Less extensive infarctions are often "subendocardial" and do not affect the epicardium.

See also epicardium.

Then mesothelial cells form the pericardium and migrate to form most of the epicardium.

Upon examination milk spots are characterized as white areas on ventricular epicardium, with precise borders, and often appear on the right ventricle.

The intrinsicoid deflection reflects the depolarization vector from the endocardium to the epicardium.

The outer layer is called the epicardium, or visceral pericardium since it is also the inner wall of the pericardium.

The heart itself is divided into three layers called the endocardium, myocardium and epicardium,(liquidation) which vary in thickness and function.

Electric potential coming from a particular part of the myocardium is the result of variation in electric charge density including endocardium, M cells and epicardium.

Epicardium describes the outer layer of heart tissue (from Greek; epi- outer, cardium heart).

Initially ICDs were implanted via thoracotomy with defibrillator patches applied to the epicardium or pericardium.

Cardiomyocytes reach their maximum length of 150 m in the endocardium and 130 m in the epicardium by the addition of sarcomeres.

The electrodes are placed in contact with the outer wall of the ventricle (epicardium) to maintain satisfactory cardiac output until a temporary transvenous electrode has been inserted.

The myocardium forms from mesoderm cells surrounding the heart tube, while the epicardium develops from other cells, most likely from neural crest cells.

Villous plaque is characterized by exophytic epicardial thickening, meaning that the growth is occurring at the border of the epicardium and not the center of mass.

For example, in uremia, there is no inflammation in the epicardium, only fibrin deposition, and therefore the EKG in uremic pericarditis will be normal.

Except for the heart, gonads, and pharynx (or branchial sac), the organs are enclosed in a membrane called an epicardium, which is surrounded by the jelly-like mesenchyme.

Hearts were paced at 8 Hz which is physiological heart rate for the mouse, using a stimulator with one lead inserted into the right ventricle and the other adjacent to the epicardium.

The outer layer of the heart is termed epicardium and the heart is surrounded by a small amount of fluid enclosed by a fibrous sac called the pericardium.

Dogs and cats with tricuspid valve dysplasia often also have an open foramen ovale, an atrial septal defect, or inflammation of the right atrial epicardium.

Hemorrhagic smallpox also produces a dusky erythema, petechiae, and hemorrhages in the spleen, kidney, serosa, muscle, and, rarely, the epicardium, liver, testes, ovaries and bladder.

After a delay, the stimulus is conducted through the bundle of His to the Purkinje fibers and the endocardium at the apex of the heart, then finally to the ventricular epicardium.
