Pericardial fluid is a fluid that is secreted by the serous membrane on the pericardious sac on the outside of the heart.
The pericardial fluid acts as a lubricant and reduces friction between the opposing surfaces as the heart beats (contacts). The pericardial fluid is secreted by the pericardial membranes.
it is called pericadial fluid and it is composed of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lymphocytes, and some protein.
Between the parietal and visceral layers is the pericardial cavity which contains serous fluid--pericardial fluid.The fluid reduces friction between the pericardial membranes when the heart moves within them.
Pericardiocentesis is removal of fluid from the pericardial space by means of a needle. It can be used to decrease pressure in the space caused by an excess of fluid.
The pericardial fluid provides some protection against shock and injury. In addition, it helps decrease friction at the outer surface of the heart.
The pericardial fluid is secreted by the serous pericardium, which is the thin membrane that surrounds the heart. This fluid helps reduce friction between the heart and surrounding structures during contractions.
The pericardial fluid
A serous membrane secretes a thin watery fluid called serous fluid to reduce friction and lubricate organs. These membranes line body cavities such as the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities.
Normal pericardial fluid is clear to straw colored. During pathological examination normal pericardial fluid does not contain blood, cancer cells, or bacteria.
The serous membrane, also known as serosa, provides lubrication to the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities. This membrane secretes a fluid called serous fluid, which reduces friction between organs as they move within these cavities.
The pericardial sac contains the heart and pericardial fluid which serves to protect the heart. The fluid is secreted by the serous visceral pericardium and is similar to the cerebral spinal fluid that cushions the brain.
The pericardial sac is filled with pericardial fluid, a clear fluid that acts as a lubricant between the layers of the pericardium to allow the heart to move smoothly during contractions.
fluid on the heart
Pericardial effusion.
If your serous visceral pericardium some how stops producing the lubricant then theorically yes it is possible. Though it is more probably that there will be an over production of pericardial fluid which is know as a pericardial effusion.
pericardial cavity
Water around the heart is also called a pericardial effusion. The pericardium is a sac that surrounds the heart. If this sac fills with fluid, a pericardial effusion, then the ability of the heart to contract normally is compromised.
