Pericardial Resection to Treat Heart Failure

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Heart Failure

In brief

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether there will be less increase in cardiac filling pressure after the surgeon opens the pericardium (the membrane around the heart) than when the pericardium is intact. The researchers want to see whether opening the pericardium is an effective way to reduce the blood filling pressures in the heart.
