∙ 14y agoThe myocardium is part of the most superficial layer of the heart. It is the middle of these three. The myocardium forms the bulk of the heart, and it consists mainly of cardiac muscle. This is the layer that sactually contracts. The myocardium's elongated, circularly and spirally arranged networks of cardiac mucle cells squeeze blood through the heart in the proper directions.

How can you use Myocardial in a sentence?
This means relating to the muscle tissue of the heart. Here are some sentences.He suffered a myocardial infarction, or heart attack.The disease caused myocardial damage.He has a myocardial infection.
Does dead mycardial tissue get replaced?
Dead myocardial tissue gets replaces by collagenous fibrous tissue, which is non-contractile.
How do you describe myocardial ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia is a coronary artery disease during which the heart tissue is slowly or suddenly starved of oxygen and other nutrients. Eventually, the affected heart tissue will die.
What is myocardial biopsy?
Myocardial biopsy is a procedure wherein a small portion of tissue is removed from the heart muscle for testing. This test is also known as endomyocardial biopsy.
What is paroxysmal chest pain that results from ischemic myocardial tissue called?
Angina is a paroxysmal chest pain or pressure sensation associated with transient myocardial infarction.
Disease of the myocardial tissue?
Cardiomyopathy Cardio = heart Myo = muscle Pathy = disease
What is the area of dead tissue within heart muscle?
Anterior myocardial infarction
A patient has an 80 percent blockage of his left anterior descending coronary artery Describe what occurs in terms of myocardial oxygen supply and demand if his sympathetic nervous system is stimulate?
Increased myocardial contractility increases the oxygen demand for the myocardial cells. If the demand of oxygen exceeds the supply, death of myocardial tissue can occur.
