Pericardial disease: a clinical review

Syed Wamique Yusuf et al. Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2016.

Abstract

Pericardial disease is infrequently encountered in cardiovascular practice, but can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Clinical data and practice guidelines are relatively sparse. Early recognition and prompt treatment of pericardial diseases are critical to optimize patient outcomes. In this review we provide a concise summary of acute pericarditis, constrictive pericarditis and pericardial effusion/tamponade.

Keywords: Pericarditis; constrictive pericarditis; pericardial effusion; tamponade.
