Recurrence was documented in patients who presented typical chest pain and 1 or more of the following signs: fever, rubs, electrocardiographic changes, pericardial effusion, increase of acute phase reactants. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]

Introduction Case Presentation: A 56-year-old previously healthy man presented with 2 days of pleuritic left anterior chest pain, lessened by sitting forward. [ahajournals.org]

Case Presentation: Here, we describe a 34 year-old female admitted with five days of worsening left sided pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath. [shmabstracts.com]

• Left Ventricular Dysfunction

  After a mean follow-up of 61 months, the complication rate was 3.5% cardiac tamponade and 0% constrictive pericarditis and left ventricular dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Withdrawn

  C-reactive protein normalized within 7.1 days, and steroids were withdrawn within 62 days. Dose tapering was adopted in 64.7% of patients, leading to recurrence in 26% of cases. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]

  The mean time of remission since the withdrawn of the drug is now 12 months (range 2-24 months). At the last follow-up all pts were in remission. Three pts are still receiving daily administration of anakinra as monotherapy. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]

  If you have cardiac tamponade, excess fluid around your heart will be withdrawn with a sterile needle in a procedure called pericardiocentesis. [drugs.com]

• Euphoria

  They may cause osteoporosis (at any age), inhibition of bone growth in pediatric patients, acute myopathy, elevated intraocular pressure (especially with prolonged use), cataratta, central nervous system effects (ranging from euphoria to psychosis), diabetes [gilp.org]

Similar negative workup occurs in approximately 80% of all cases. [shmabstracts.com]

The objective of this article is to review the etiology, workup, and treatment for this disease, especially new, emerging therapeutic options. [dovepress.com]

Colchicine is the standard treatment for FMF, while patients with TRAPS do not respond to colchicine therapy, but are responsive to corticosteroids. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The overall life prognosis is excellent in idiopathic recurrent pericarditis and complications are uncommon. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis of the disease is excellent, as severe complications are rare. [textbookofcardiology.org]

The prognosis depends on many factors, although in most cases with appropriate treatment, it is good Pericarditis, in some cases, can become a chronic issue. [dovemed.com]

These data confirm the relatively benign prognosis of idiopathic or viral acute pericarditis with the biggest problem being recurrence. [ahcmedia.com]

In developed countries, the idiopathic form is the most frequent, and the search for an infectious etiology is almost invariably negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusions: The underlying etiology of idiopathic recurrent acute pericarditis remains controversial, as it may be a cross of infectious, autoimmune, or autoinflammatory etiologies. [shmabstracts.com]

Therapeutic strategies are not standardised, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at high dosages being the mainstay of therapy with the possible addition of low dose colchicine to prevent recurrences. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sometimes, more intense treatment is needed to prevent complications. Recovery from pericarditis may take a few days to weeks or even months. [heart.org]
