hjartavöðvans

Hjartavöðvans is the genitive case of the Icelandic word hjartavöðvi, which translates to "heart muscle" or "myocardium." In anatomical and medical contexts in Iceland, this form is used to indicate possession or association. For instance, one might refer to the function of the hjartavöðvans to describe the workings of the heart muscle itself. When discussing conditions affecting this tissue, such as inflammation or damage, the genitive form might appear in phrases indicating a problem of the heart muscle. The term is fundamental in understanding cardiac physiology and pathology within the Icelandic language.
