	Endocarditis: Encyclopedia of Medicine
		The endocardium is the inner lining of the heart muscle, which also covers the heart valves.
		The endocardium lines all four chambers of the heart—two at the top (the right and left atria) and two at the bottom (the right and left ventricles)—through which blood passes as the heart beats.
		The endocardium may be affected by a congenital heart defect, such as mitral valve prolapse, in which blood leaks through a poorly functioning mitral valve back into the heart.
