Abstract

The pericardium consists of two layers, the visceral pericardium consisting of a single layer of mesothelial cells, elastin and collagen, attached to the epicardial surface of the heart, and an avascular parietal layer with an extensive network of collagen fibers. In humans, this fine structure normally reaches up to 2 mm thick. Its function is basically mechanical adapting to the volume changes of the cardiac cavities, although important variations of these or affectation of its tissue, makes it more rigid conditioning a restrictive behavior. There are many pathologies that can affect it, from inflammation, trauma, radiation to tumor infiltration.
