etuseinämän
Etuseinämän is a Finnish term that translates to "front wall" or "anterior wall." In medical contexts, it commonly refers to the anterior wall of the heart, specifically the part of the left ventricle that faces the chest wall. This region is a common site for myocardial infarction, or heart attack, due to the distribution of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Damage to the etuseinämän can affect the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently.

Beyond cardiology, the term "etuseinämän" can be used in other contexts to describe the front surface of
