Difficult to deduce. If you say they scrapped your heart, it should be pericardium and what they did was pericardiectomy ie. Removal of the outer covers of your heart. When you heart race it is called tachycardia, you may have some irregularities then they are called arrhythmia, whereby you must be on metoprolol to prevent them
