| Popis: | Recurrent pericarditis can occur in up to 30% of patients after acute episode of pericarditis and is associated with significantly impaired quality of life and morbidity1. High rate of recurrence remains despite treatment as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, steroids or other immunosuppressants1. If medical therapy fails, in case of symptomatic constrictive hemodynamics, surgical approach-pericardiectomy is indicated. Therefore, imaging modalities have to distinguish between hemodynamic assessment, where echocardiography is first line imaging modality, and inflammation where other cardiac imaging modalities complement echocardiographic findings. |
