What is Inflammation of inner lining of heart muscle?
Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart muscle is known as endocarditis. This condition typically occurs when bacteria or other pathogens enter the bloodstream and attach to damaged areas of the heart lining, leading to infection and inflammation. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, and heart murmurs. Prompt medical treatment is essential to prevent serious complications, such as heart valve damage.
What is the membrane lining the inner surface of the heart?
The membrane lining the inner surface of the heart is called the endocardium. It is a thin layer of endothelial cells that provides a smooth surface for blood flow and helps prevent blood clots. The endocardium also plays a role in the function of the heart's valves and is involved in regulating the contraction of the heart muscle.
