Definition
The thin, smooth innermost layer of the heart that lines all four chambers and covers the heart valves, allowing blood to flow without clotting.
Etymology
From Greek 'endo-' (within) + 'kardia' (heart) + Latin '-ium' (denoting tissue). Anatomists named this layer in the 19th century as microscopic examination revealed the heart's layered structure.
Kelly Says
Your endocardium has to be perfectly smooth like the inside of a brand-new pipe—any roughness from infection or damage causes blood to stick and clot, which is why endocarditis is so dangerous.
