In The Heart

a: Pericardial effusion ~
b: the heart in a baggie with extra fluid

What: The second big reason is to relieve the pressure of the fluid buildup. A pericardial effusion is like having the heart in a baggie with extra fluid, and if there's way too much, it can limit the ability of the heart to move and expand in that space -- a bad thing."
