Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
Most patients with severe acute pericarditis should be hospitalized for complete diagnosis and observation for complications, particularly effusion and tamponade. Therapy should be directed at a specific inciting etiologic agent, if identified. In all patients, anti-inflammatory and symptomatic treatment should aim at alleviating pain, fever, and ...

Acute pericarditis is an acute inflammatory disease of the pericardium, which may occur in many different disease states (both infectious and non-infectious). Usually the diagnosis is based on symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath), electrocardiographic changes (ST elevation), physical examination (pericardial friction rub) and elevation of cardiac

PERICARDITIS not associated with tuberculosis, rheumatic fever or other expected causes was the subject of a study by Barnes and Burchell1 in 1942. Certain features of this disorder, such as the rapid changes in heart size,2 the difficulty in differential diagnosis from acute coronary occlusion,3 the specificity of the electrocardiographic pattern,4 ...

There are many causes of acute pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) and diagnosis is often difficult owing to the dynamic nature of the disease. History and physical examination, augmented by radiographic and ECG studies, will allow the diagnosis to be made in the majority of cases.

Acute nonspecific pericarditis
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1958Abstract Unidentified infection of the respiratory tract preceded the onset of acute nonspecific pericarditis in 16 of our 18 patients. Chest pain and pericardial friction rub occurred almost simultaneously or preceded the appearance of fever, leukocytosis, and elevation of the sedimentation rate.

A Randomized Trial of Colchicine for Acute Pericarditis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2013 BackgroundColchicine is effective for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis. However, conclusive data are lacking regarding the use of colchicine during a first attack of acute pericarditis and in the prevention of recurrent symptoms.

Pericarditis is almost uniformly secondary to some other pathological process. It is usually an acute inflammation of the pericardium and subepicardial myocardium, with or without effusion, and its prognosis most often depends on the causative agent or underlying disease.

Acute pericarditis may be of viral or idiopathic origin, may be induced by certain drugs, may occur as a consequence of thoracic surgery, may result from infection by bacteria or other organisms, or may be associated with noninfectious systemic disease. In some instances, pericarditis may be detected quickly, and in other cases it may not be recognized

This chapter investigates acute pericarditis. The pericardium serves to protect the heart from physiologic changes in intracardiac pressure related to respiration and postural change, and it may also augment the mechanical function of the cardiac chambers.

Acute constrictive pericarditis
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1961Summary A case of acute constrictive pericarditis secondary to meningococcal infection is presented. Fatal concretio cordis developed with unprecedented speed 21 days after the onset of suppurative pericarditis. The literature is reviewed pertaining to the relationship of suppurative pericarditis and subsequent concretio cordis.
