Pericardial Diseases

The pericardium is a thin sac that surrounds the heart, separating it from the lungs and other organs in the chest. It is composed of two layers—an inner and outer layer—that hold fluid in between.

There are several types pericardia diseases, all of which require specialized, comprehensive care.

Pericarditis

Cardiac Tumors

Cardiac (heart) tumors are most often benign or noncancerous. They have the potential, however, to become cancerous, and their presence may interfere with normal heart function and possibly cause a stroke. A cardiac tumor requires immediate and careful treatment.

Imaging and surgical expertise at Weill Cornell Medicine

The Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery has exceptional experience detecting and treating benign and cancerous cardiac tumors.

Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement

Mitral valve disorders

Heart valves are flaps of tissue that ensure that blood entering or leaving the heart moves in the right direction, with no backflow. A heart valve can become dysfunctional in two ways: stenosis or insufficiency.

The mitral valve controls blood flow between the heart and the lungs. If the mitral valve dysfunctions, the lungs can become congested with blood. Excess fluid in and around the lungs causes shortness of breath, and backed up fluid causes swelling throughout the body.
