Specialty Definitions: Epicardium

Domain	Definitions
Medicine	One of the two surfaces of the pericardium. These surfaces can be visualized by considering the heart as a fist which is plunged into a large balloon. The surface of the balloon in intimate contact with the fist is analogous to the visceral pericardium, or epicardium. This surface encases the heart, extending several centimeters onto each of the great vessels. It is then reflected back, as is the outer surface of the balloon, to form the parietal pericardium [VE1]. Source: European Union. (references)
