Pericarditis is a common but frequently subclinical entity. There are a number of causes, including infection, systemic illness, cardiac disease, trauma, and neoplasm. Iatrogenic causes include surgery, cardiac instrumentation, irradiation, and medications. The clinical presentation varies, depending on the cause.

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 ...

Pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) may be caused by infectious agents, autoimmune disorders, metabolic conditions, or malignancy, or it may be a complication of drug therapy, trauma, cardiac surgery, or smallpox vaccination. Diagnosis, based on clinical findings, electrocardiographic changes, chest radiograph, and ultrasound, may be ...

Chest, 1975
Amebic pericarditis in a 40-year-old man who presented with insidious onset of symptoms is reported. Pericarditis is an infrequent complication of liver abscess and accounts for 4 percent of all extraintestinal amebiasis. Communication between the left lobe of liver and pericardium has been demonstrated in this patient.

Recurrent pericarditis is the most troublesome complication of pericarditis occurring in 15 to 30% of cases. The pathogenesis is often presumed to be immune-mediated although a specific rheumatologic diagnosis is commonly difficult to find. The clinical diagnosis is based on recurrent pericarditis chest pain and additional objective evidence of disease

Constrictive pericarditis is a potentially treatable cause of diastolic heart failure that arises because a diseased, inelastic pericardium restricts ventricular diastolic expansion. Affected patients present with heart failure with predominant right-sided symptoms and signs.

PERICARDITIS (WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO TUBERCULOUS PERICARDITIS)
Australasian Annals of Medicine, 1967SummaryIn this study diseases of the pericardium which dominate the clinical picture have been analysed. In essence this means a discussion of infective pericarditis.Pericarditis is a common disorder in Cape Town, South Africa, particularly among the Bantu and Cape Coloured population.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976
A patient with constrictive pericarditis following an open-heart operation without sepsis is discussed. In the absence of sepsis, it has been widely held that this complication does not develop following an open-heart procedure. The fatal outcome in this patient could have been avoided had such an association been known.

Few of the diseases that afflict the heart require such a breadth of knowledge on the part of the physician as pericarditis. Infections, uremia, trauma, radiation, drugs, tumor, myocardial infarction, heart operation, aortic rupture or chylous fluid can produce pericarditis. Clinical features often mimic other diseases or are nonspecific, and signs and
