Endocarditis is a potentially serious infection and inflammation of the heart muscles and valves. Learn about symptoms, what causes it, treatments, and more.

The endocardium shares all these properties with arterial endothelium, including the arterial marker expression and exposure to the haemodynamic stresses and nitric oxide.

The formation of the heart depends on critical signals exchanged between its two main layers: the myocardium (the muscle that powers the heartbeat) and the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart).

Infective endocarditis is an infection in the heart valves or endocardium. It can lead to stroke and heart failure. Learn about the symptoms and treatments.

Endocarditis is a rare, potentially fatal infection of the endocardium or inner lining of the heart. It is usually caused by bacteria traveling through the bloodstream to the heart and treated by ...

Insights into the fundamental process of how the heart is formed offer new hope for treating heart disease. The findings focus on long, thin, channels of membranes – called Tunneling Nanotube-Like ...

Taking advantage of genetic lineage tracing and tissue specific gene knockout technology, researchers found that part of liver vasculature is derived from endocardium in the developing heart.

Heart infection is defined by infection of cardiac tissue by any infecting organism, i.e. virus, bacteria or fungus. The heart consists of endocardium, myocardium and pericardium. To understand ...

Here we characterized Tunneling Nanotube-Like Structures (TNTLs), which we found physically connecting cardiomyocytes in myocardium to endocardial cells in endocardium." ...

Claire Anna Watson's Endocardium, a video of a cabbage being peeled back to its core, deconstructs the aesthetic monumentality of the vegetable.

Here, we characterized Tunneling Nanotube-Like Structures (TNTLs), which we found physically connecting cardiomyocytes in myocardium to endocardial cells in endocardium.
