Here is an update on the discussion entries above.
"Transösophageale Echokardiografie: für Intensivmediziner und Anästhesisten"
by Clemens-Alexander Greim, Norbert Roewer in its 2007 edition uses the term "Fiederung" explicitly in the context of the heart (describing the papillary muscles on page 204: Die linksventrikulären Papillarmuskeln variieren hinsichtlich ihrer muskulären Fiederung und Insertion.)
http://books.google.de/books?id=O5kDCrkbFb0C&pg=PA204&lpg=PA...

Example sentence(s):
  • musculus pennatus, pennate muscle: a muscle in which the fibers approach the tendon of insertion from a wide area and are inserted through a large segment of its circumference. Called also m. bipennatus [TA alternative] and bipennate or penniform muscle.
