Acute pericarditis is a relatively common cause of chest pain, with approximately 5% of patients with nonischemic chest pain being diagnosed with acute pericarditis in the emergency department. Recurrent or relapsing pericarditis is common, is one of the most challenging complications of acute pericarditis, and may affect 10–50% of patients. It can have infectious or non-infectious causes and is characterized by a combination of signs (e.g., pericarp. dial rubs, electrocardiographic changes, and pericardial effusion), symptoms (primarily chest pain, but other symptoms such as dyspnea are possible), and usually elevation of markers of myocardial inflammation (i.e., protein C reactive). Simultaneous myocardial involvement is also attributed to about one-third of patients with acute pericarditis, and it is due to overlapping etiological agents for pericarditis and myocarditis. It is the first pericarditis attack, generally occurring with an acute onset of symptoms. It is characterized by ...
