A thin, slippery, double membrane, which is called the pericardium, surrounds the heart and lines the chest wall. The inner membrane is the visceral pericardium which covers the surface of the heart, and the outer membrane is the parietal pericardium which lines the chest wall. Between the membranes is a small amount of lubricating fluid to reduce friction during the heart's movements.
(note: previous answer mentioned sinovial fluid, which incorrect, as it is found in joints and not around the heart)
