The epicardium provides epicardial-derived cells and molecular signals to support cardiac development and regeneration. Zebrafish and mouse studies have shown that , a cerebral cavernous malformation disease gene, is essential for cardiac development. Endocardial cell-specific deletion of in mice has previously established that Ccm2 is essential for maintenance of the cardiac jelly for cardiac development during early gestation.

Article Synopsis
- * Rare primary cardiac tumors are also included in the differential diagnosis for issues in the inferior middle mediastinum, often requiring surgical exploration for accurate diagnosis.
- * A case study is presented involving a 69-year-old woman with ongoing breathing difficulties, leading to the discovery of a large mass near the heart, which was diagnosed as an epicardial cavernous hemangioma after surgical removal.
