Bone marrow stem cells are multipotential and capable of transdifferentiation to myocardium and regeneration myocardium by bone marrow stem cell transplantartion is investigated worldwide.
The myocardial bridge is an anatomic structure with some functions, such as supporting and fixing aeteria coronaria, increasing arteriotony and raising blood supply of myocardium.
There's also a tiny third opening into the right atrium called the coronary sinus, which collects blood from coronary vessels returning from the myocardium.
This is typically due to some kind of damage to the myocardium—or the heart muscle —which means it can’t contract as forcefully and pump blood as efficiently.
If blood flow’s reduced or the myocardium is thicker, blood has a harder time reaching this deeper layer just under the endocardium, called the subendocardium.
It’s during these time of exertion or emotional stress that people with stable angina have chest pain, since the blood flow isn’t meeting the metabolic demands of the heart muscle, or myocardium.
The myocardium also has dedicated blood vessels called coronary vessels, which lay on the outside of the heart and then penetrate into the myocardium to bring blood to that layer because it needs a lot of energy to pump blood.
Because of this difference, the left ventricle needs to be stronger; and so the muscular layer of the left ventricular wall or its myocardium is three times thicker than the right ventricle's myocardium.
The muscular walls of the heart consist of three major " layers" . The bulk of the walls is made up of a layer of cardiac muscle and is called the myocardium.
Whatever the case, the heart needs blood, and if we look at the heart wall, there’s three layers—the outermost layer, the epicardium, then the myocardium in the middle, and the endocardium inside the heart.
