It consists of two membranes : an inner serous membrane called the epicardium, and an outer fibrous membrane.
12.
The myocardium forms from mesoderm cells surrounding the heart tube, while the epicardium develops from other cells, most likely from neural crest cells.
13.
Cardiomyocytes reach their maximum length of 150 \ mu m in the endocardium and 130 \ mu m in the epicardium by the addition of sarcomeres.
14.
Villous plaque is characterized by exophytic epicardial thickening, meaning that the growth occurs at the border of the epicardium and not the center of mass.
15.
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.
16.
When the visceral layer of serous pericardium comes into contact with heart ( not the great vessels ) it is known as the "'epicardium " '.
17.
HAND factors function in the formation of the right ventricle, left ventricle, aortic arch arteries, epicardium, and endocardium implicating them as mediators of congenital heart disease.
18.
His research team pioneered work demonstrating electrical heterogeneity within ventricular myocardium, showing that cells in the epicardium and endocardium differ with respect to electrical properties and response to pharmacologic agents.
19.
The "'myocardium "'is the muscle tissue of the heart, and forms a thick middle layer between the outer epicardium layer and the inner endocardium layer.
20.
The TCF21 product is mesoderm-specific and expressed in embryonic epicardium, mesenchyme-derived tissues of lung, gut, gonad, and both mesenchymal and glomerular epithelial cells in the kidney.
