METHODS: a brief, anonymous questionnaire probing into treatment practices was sent in April 2005 to all cardiologists of Brittany. RESULTS: we collected 164 analyzable questionnaires out of 248 submitted (66%). The initial investigations in presence of acute pericarditis included an electrocardiogram in 100% of cases, an echocardiogram in 95%, and screening biochemistry in 93% of cases.
