intracardiac

Inside the heart

Intracardiac means within the heart.

The term appears in medical contexts describing procedures, injections, or devices that operate inside the heart itself: intracardiac echocardiography, intracardiac catheter.

An intracardiac injection delivers medication directly into heart tissue—a last-resort intervention in cardiac emergencies.
