endocardium
The endocardium is the thin, innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart. It plays a vital role in heart function and health, helping to regulate contraction and maintaining the structure of the heart valves. Any abnormality or disease that affects this layer can have serious implications for cardiovascular health.

Endocardium
The endocardium is the innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart. Its cells are embryologically and biologically similar to the endothelial cells that line blood vessels. The endocardium also provides protection to the valves and heart chambers. The endocardium underlies the much more voluminous myocardium, the muscular tissue responsible for the contraction of the heart. 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.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
