The pericardium is membrane that makes up the outer casing of the heart. If the pericardium becomes irritated or inflamed, a type of heart disease known as pericarditis results.MedlinePlus: Medical Encyclopedia: Pericarditis
Consequently, when there is fluid buildup from the swelling in pericarditis, it has the ability to constrict the heart, and makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.JAMA: Pericarditis (March 5, 2003)
