Etymology
'angiomyocardiac' originates from Greek and Latin roots: 'angio-' meaning 'vessel', 'myo-' meaning 'muscle', and 'cardiac' from 'kardia' meaning 'heart'.
'angiomyocardiac' was formed in modern medical English by combining the roots 'angio-', 'myo-', and 'cardiac' to describe something pertaining to the blood vessels and muscle of the heart.
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to the blood vessels and heart muscle', and this meaning has remained consistent in medical terminology.
