An adhesion is when a scar binds 2 tissues together. So a pericardial adhesion is when the pericardium attaches to the heart muscle. This can restrict the actions of the muscle. This is usually because of dense fibrous adhesions that form like a scar during the process of healing. This happens when your heart is trying to heal such as from a trauma or even heart surgery.
