Morphology
intramyocardial = myocardial (transparent) = intra + myocardium + al
The adjective is formed by adding the productive prefix 'intra-' ('within') to 'myocardial', directly yielding 'within the heart muscle'.
Etymology
Intramyocardial is made of three parts: intra- 'inside', myo- 'muscle', and cardial 'heart', like in cardiac. So intramyocardial means 'inside the heart muscle'.
