Endocardium

The endocardium is the inner layer of the heart that covers its walls and forms the valves. It is made up of connective tissue and smooth muscles that move blood through the heart.

The endocardium plays an important role in the functioning of the heart. It is responsible for regulating blood flow, preventing backflow from the ventricles and ensuring that the atria are filled with blood. In addition, the endocardium is involved in the formation of heart valves, which prevent backflow of blood and ensure normal blood circulation.

Endocardial diseases can lead to various health problems. For example, endocarditis is inflammation of the endocardium that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other infections. Endocarditis can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and even death.

To prevent endocardial diseases, it is necessary to monitor your heart health and undergo regular medical examinations. It is also important to lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise.
