The myocardium is the middle layer and finally the endocardium is the innermost. The heart is composed of different cell types which all contribute to structural‚ biochemical‚ mechanical‚ and electrical properties. Forming the walls of the heart are atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes. Cells specialize in different roles. They determine the function of a tissue in the human body. Endothelial cells form the endocardium which is the interior lining of blood vessels and cardiac valves. Over 50 percent

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)‚ also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy‚ is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate. Cellular accumulation and gland enlargement may result from epithelial and stromal proliferation‚ impaired preprogrammed cell death (apoptosis)‚ or both. BPH involves the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate arising in the periurethral and transition zones of the gland. The hyperplasia

Etiology & Risk Factors Congestive Heart Failure can be brought on by many conditions. These conditions include Coronary Artery Disease‚ Heart Attack‚ and lastly Cardiomyopathy. Coronary artery disease can develop in humans after years over time after years of fatty deposits in the vascular system (Arteriosclerosis). After a heart attack the heart muscles are weakened and cannot perform the way they could prior to the attack. Therefore‚ as the muscles lose their pumping ability the heart cannot work
