The subserosal layer fuses with the fibrouspericardium in the parital membrane and it fuses with the myocardial tissue in the visceral membrane. The serousal layer is on the subseroal layer so it faces the pericardial cavity and it possibly secretes the pericardial fluid. Together these two layers form a continuous uninterrupted membrane. Between these two layers exists a small cavity called the pericardial cavity, which contains a supply of serous fluid .

Unreferenced date July 2009 As distinct from the Western medical concept of pericardium , this concept from Traditional Chinese Medicine is more a way of describing a set of interrelated parts than an anatomical organ. See Zang Fu theory The Pericardium is also called the heart protector, and, for clinical purposes, is considered a Yin and yang yin organ paired with the Yin and yang yang organ San Jiao . In general theory, the Pericardium is not distinguished from the Heart. It is also the first line of defence against the Heart from External Pathogenic Influences. The Pericardium has a Meridian Chinese medicine meridian named for it, which reflects the health of the organ. In terms of the Five Elements , these organs are both associated with the fire element. In treatment, it is often best to approach heart problems via the Pericardium, rather than directly. The peak time for the Pericardium is from 7pm to 9pm.

This operation is most commonly done to relieve constrictive pericarditis , or to remove a pericardium that is calcified and fibrous. There are many etiologies for constrictive pericarditis and it is better to know the exact cause as the post operative morbidity, mortality and life expectancy are strongly influenced by the cause. It takes place by removing the infected, fibrosed, or otherwise damaged pericardium. The procedure begins when the surgeon makes an incision in the skin over the Human breastbone breastbone and divides it to expose the pericardium. During the surgery, the surgeon will grasp the pericardium, cut the top of this fibrous covering of the heart , drop into the specimen bag, and the heart is re covered. Then, the surgeon will wire the breastbone back together, the incision is closed, and the procedure is completed.When all the portion of pericardium lying between the two phrenic nerve s is excised it is called total pericardiectomy. In cases where total pericardiectomy is not possible, subtotal pericardiectomy is performed or, in extreme cases, a cruciate incision on the pericardium is performed.
