Relating to or connecting the heart and the pylorus, which is the opening from the stomach into the small intestine.
From cardio- (heart) and pyloric (from Greek pyle, gate, + -oros, guard). This rare anatomical term combines cardiac and gastric terminology used in medical literature.
The pylorus literally means 'gate-keeper' in Greek—it's the muscular valve that guards the exit from your stomach, and this word connects it to cardiac physiology in ways doctors rarely need to describe.
