Definition:A region of the serous membrane that forms the innermost layer of the pericardium and the outer surface of the heart.
Comment:EDITOR_NOTE TODO - check links with UBERON:0002425 visceral serous pericardium. develops from proepicardium. WP:Epicardium -- When considered as a part of the pericardium, it is the inner layer, or visceral pericardium, continuous with the serous layer.; [function-note] "The visceral pericardium apparently produces the pericardial fluid, which lubricates motion between the inner and outer layers of the pericardium. During ventricular contraction, the wave of depolarization moves from endocardial to epicardial surface. [Wikipedia:Epicardium]"
Synonyms:exact_synonym: heart epicardium;   visceral serous pericardium of heart;   visceral serous pericardium proper
 related_synonym: pericardium visceral mesothelium
