WHAT DOES EPICARDIAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Epicardium

Epicardium describes the outer layer of heart tissue. When considered as a part of the pericardium, it is the inner layer, or visceral pericardium, continuous with the serous layer. Its largest constituent is connective tissue and functions as a protective layer. The visceral pericardium apparently produces the pericardial fluid, which lubricates motion between the inner and outer layers of the pericardium. During ventricular contraction, the wave of depolarization moves from endocardial to epicardial surface. The surgical removing of the epicardium is referred to as epicardiectomy.
