Pericardial Delivery: Motivation
The pericardial sac is a fluid-filled self-contained space surrounding the heart. As such, it can be potentially used therapeutically as a “drug reservoir.”

Mathematical Model
GoalsInvestigate the efficacy of agent penetration in
myocardiumExtract the key physical parameters
Key physical processesSubstrate transport across boundary layer between
pericardial sac and myocardium: Substrate diffusion in myocardium: DT
Substrate washout in myocardium (through the vascular and lymphatic capillaries): k

Idealized Spherical Geometry

Myocardium: R1 – R2
“Chambers”: 0 – R1
R1 = 2.5cm
R2 = 3.5cmVolume of pericardial sac: 10ml-40ml

Governing Equations and Boundary conditions
Governing equation in myocardium
CT: concentration of agent in tissue DT: effective diffusion constant in tissue k: washout rate
Consider pericardial sac as a drug reservoir (Well mixing and no washout of drug
in pericardial sac)
The drug current flowed through the boundary layer between pericardial sac and myocardium is proportional to the concentration difference between them

Diffusion in an active viscoelastic medium
Heart tissue is a porous medium consisting of extracellular space and muscle fibers. The extracellular space consists of an incompressible fluid (mostly water) and collagen.
Expansion and contraction of the fiber sheets leads to changes in the gross pore sizes and therefore mixing of the extracellular volume. This effective "stirring" results in larger diffusion constants.
