agree  Armorel Young: yes, not so much "near" as "next to", I would say

  -> Thank you, Armorel. Yes, "next to" is indeed preferable to "near". But I would suggest "proximate to". It's more medicalese.
agree  Anne Schulz: If you cannot decide between near and next, just "luminal" might do the job as well ;-)

  -> "luminal" is a v. good idea, Anne. Thank you :-)

endocardium


Explanation:
It´s not a literal translation but it captures the meaning-- the inner part of the heart is endocardium. The heart also does not really have a lumen--the spaces are called chambers.
