- A serous membrane with two layers that surrounds the heart
- (pericardial) located around the heart or relating to or affecting the pericardium; "pericardial space"
- The pericardium (from the Greek u03C0u03B5u03C1u03AF, "around" and u03BAu03ACu03C1u03B4u03B9u03BFu03BD, "heart") is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. The pericardial sac has two layers, a serous layer and a fibrous layer. It encloses the pericardial cavity which contains pericardial fluid.

- Three layers make up the wall of the heart:
- The membranous sac filled with serous fluid that encloses the heart and the roots of the aorta and other large blood vessels.

- Thin layer of tissue covering the outer surfaces of the heart, protecting it from tumors, infections, and possibly enlargement.
