the serous visceral pericardium.
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.
Pericardial edema is the swelling of the pericardial tissue due to excess fluid accumulation within the tissue itself. Pericardial effusion, on the other hand, is the collection of excess fluid within the pericardial sac surrounding the heart. Both conditions can lead to cardiac complications if left untreated.
Pericardial aspiration is a procedure where a needle is inserted into the pericardial sac surrounding the heart to remove excess fluid, relieving pressure on the heart and improving cardiac function. This procedure is typically done to diagnose and treat conditions like pericarditis or cardiac tamponade.
Yes, the mediastinum contains the pericardial cavity, which surrounds the heart and is located within the mediastinum. The pericardial cavity is a fluid-filled space that helps protect the heart and allows it to move smoothly during cardiac contractions.

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
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.
