What is the area above the pericardia cavity called?

Why is the heart surrounded by but not in the pericardial cavity?
The heart is surrounded by the pericardial cavity, which is a fluid-filled space between the heart and the pericardium, a double-layered membrane. This cavity provides a protective buffer, allowing the heart to move freely during contractions while reducing friction. The heart itself is situated within the inner layer of the pericardium, known as the visceral pericardium, but it is not "in" the pericardial cavity since that space is specifically between the heart and the outer layer, the parietal pericardium.

What is the space between the epicardium and the parietal pericardium?
