Endocardial
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the endocardium.
(a.) Seated or generated within the heart; as, endocardial murmurs.
Example Sentences:

(3) Intraoperative programmed stimulation failed to induce VT in eight patients and visually-directed endocardial resection was performed.
(4) At implant, bipolar endocardial electrograms were recorded before each shock application, during ventricular fibrillation, during redetection of ventricular fibrillation in case the applied shock was ineffective, and at intervals of 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 seconds after each shock delivery.
(5) Thus, the endocardial-epicardial gradient of activation rates during VF is caused by ischemia.
(6) We conclude that: (1) two of the previously proposed criteria for diagnosis of entrainment (fixed fusion on the surface electrocardiogram and a first postpacing interval equal to the paced cycle length) are overly restrictive criteria for definition of "entrainment" of VT, (2) analysis of endocardial recordings from the site of origin of tachycardia during attempted entrainment of VT is useful for documenting the presence of entrainment, and (3) such analysis provides a basis for the understanding of surface electrocardiographic phenomenon associated with entrainment.
(7) In a noncontracting in vitro preparation of combined right and left atria we demonstrated by electron microscopy that, at 37 degrees C, transition from zero pressure to a physiological distending pressure of 5.1 mm Hg rapidly rendered atrial endocardial endothelium permeable to the macromolecular probes horseradish peroxidase (HRP; M(r), approximately 40,000) and wheat germ agglutinin-HRP (M(r), approximately 70,000); each probe was introduced at the atrial cavitary endocardial surface.
(8) Under normal circumstances, excitation of the heart spreads from the endocardial site to the epicardial site via the Purkinje fiber.
(9) PNA binding sites capped by sialic acid were most abundant in the developing rat heart during the critical period of endocardial cushion formation and decreased as development proceeded.
