Srdcového

Srdcového is the genitive singular form of the Slovak adjective srdcový, meaning heart-related or cardiac. It is used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case, a common situation in technical, medical, and anatomical terminology.

In practice, srdcového appears in phrases such as choroba srdcového svalu (disease of the cardiac muscle) or porucha srdcového rytmu (disorder of cardiac rhythm). These constructions link a heart-related attribute to a specific heart structure or function, indicating possession or association.

The word srdcový is formed from the noun srdce (heart) with the adjectival suffix -ový. In full inflection, the same adjective has feminine and neuter forms (srdcová, srdcové) and corresponding case endings, while the srdcového form specifically marks the genitive singular for masculine or neuter nouns.

Usage of srdcového is typical in medical, scientific, and educational contexts where precise description of heart-related phenomena is required. Outside of these technical registers, more general or everyday language often uses broader terms or different constructions to convey similar meanings. Overall, srdcového functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, serving to connect heart-related qualifiers to the nouns they describe.
