What is the fluid sac that surrounds the heart?

Answer 1

Yes, it is.

Answer 2

The pericardial sac, or pericardium, is a 2 layered sac formed around the heart. The tough outer layer is called the fibrous layer and the inner layer is called the fibrous pericardium. The inner layer is called the parietal layer of serous pericardium that faces the pericardial cavity. This parietal layer of serous pericardium is continuous with the epicardium or visceral layer of pericardium and forms a sac of pericardial fluid around the heart.

When this sac, or pericardium, becomes inflamed it is called pericarditis.

Pericardiocentesis is a procedure that is used to drain this fluid from the pericardial cavity. This may be necessary with a condition called cardiac tamponade.
