Epicardium is the outer layer of heart tissue. When considered as part of the pericardium, it is the inner layer, continuous with the serial layer.
The epicardium is made up of connective tissue that contains blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It serves to protect the heart and provide support for the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. Additionally, the epicardium is involved in reducing friction between the heart and surrounding structures during heart contractions.
