What's the difference between cardiac and subpericardial?
Cardiac
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, resembling, or hear the heart; as, the cardiac arteries; the cardiac, or left, end of the stomach.
(a.) Exciting action in the heart, through the medium of the stomach; cordial; stimulant.
(n.) A medicine which excites action in the stomach; a cardial.
Example Sentences:

(2) The newborn with critical AS typically presents with severe cardiac failure and the infant with moderate failure, whereas children may be asymptomatic.
(3) In cardiac tissue the adenylate system is not a good indicator of the energy state of the mitochondrion, even when the concentrations of AMP and free cytosolic ADP are calculated from the adenylate kinase and creatine kinase equilibria.
(4) Changes in cardiac adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphocreatine (PCr) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) were followed and intracellular pH (pHi) was estimated from the chemical shift of Pi.

(8) Radioligand binding studies revealed the presence of a single class of high-affinity (Kd = 2-6 X 10(-10) M) binding sites for ET-1 in both cells, although the maximal binding capacity of cardiac receptor was about 6- to 12-fold greater than that of vascular receptor.
(9) Using multiple regression, a linear correlation was established between the cardiac index and the arterial-venous pH and PCO2 differences throughout shock and resuscitation (r2 = .91).
(10) One patient with a large fistula angiographically had no oximetric evidence of shunt at cardiac catheterization.
(11) Only the approximately 2.7 kb mRNA species was visualized in Northern blots of total cellular and poly(A+) RNA isolated from cardiac ventricular muscle.
(12) External phonocardiography performed at the time of cardiac catheterization revealed that this loud midsystolic click disappeared whenever a catheter was positioned across the mitral valve.
(13) No differences in cardiac output were noted in surviving animals.
(14) Diphenoxylate-induced hypoxia was the major problem and was associated with slow or fast respirations, hypotonia or rigidity, cardiac arrest, and in 3 cases cerebral edema and death.
(15) Results showed significantly higher cardiac output in infants with grade III shunting than in infants with grade 0 and grade I shunting.
(16) This doxorubicin derivative did not bind to Sepharose which was conjugated with cardiac actin.
(17) Infusion of sodium lactate associated with isoproterenol could be used to combat the depressent effects of betablockers in patients with cardiac disorders.

(19) Hypercalcitoninemia was the most pronounced in patients with cardiac rhythm disorders and a simultaneous reduction in total serum calcium.
(20) Eight other children (20%) had normal or borderline elevation of CPK-MB fraction and EKG abnormalities combined with abnormal echocardiograms or radionuclide angiograms, and were considered to have sustained cardiac concussion.
Subpericardial
Definition:
(a.) Situated under the cardiac pericardium.
Example Sentences:
(1) The effect of stretch of the atrial subpericardial myocytes was investigated in the inside-out perfused rabbit atria.
(2) Myocardial ischemia (subpericardial and subendocardial) is represented in A V R in an image reverse to the left thoracic leads.
(3) Necropsy study showed a peritoneal mesothelioma (in non radiated area) and diffuse subpericardial fibrosis.
(4) The subpericardial layers role for supporting the heart function in sharp activation of its work was demonstrated.
(5) Multifocal microscopic necrosis with involvement of the full thickness of the ventricular wall, including the subpericardial zone, was significantly more common (p = less than .005) in the patients with platelet emboli (55.6% vs 12.7%).
(6) Since spasm of the large subpericardial vessels does not seem to explain the magnitude of the increased coronary resistance and decreased coronary flow after cocaine as described in the literature, it is suggested that microvascular spasm of smaller vessels plays a major role in the temporary decrease in perfusion.
(7) Histopathological changes appeared on day 2 to 4 when necrosis of myocardial fibres occurred in the subpericardial region.
(8) Significant histologic findings included subpericardial and pleural hemorrhages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes in alveolar spaces, hemorrhage, and tubulocytic changes in the adrenal glands.
