2 The nrmal pericardium is a fibrelastic sac surrunding the heart that cntains a small amunt f pericardial fluid (10 50 ml), which is prduced by the visceral (internal) layer f the pericardium. Little W et al. Circulatin 2006;113:

3 Acute pericarditis is diagnsed in apprximately 0.1% f hspitalized patients and accunts fr 5% f emergency department visits fr chest pain in the absence f mycardial infarctin. The incidence f acute pericarditis was 27.7 cases per 100,000 ppulatin/year and in 2/3 f cases affect males. Kyt V et al. Circulatin 2014;130: Imazi M et al. Circulatin 2010;121:

15 Management f acute pericarditis Physical activity in patients with IRP must be limited until the cmplete remissin f fever and chest pain. Lazars G et al. HJC 2009 ;50: Eur Heart J. 2004; 25:

16 Clinical pr prgnstic predictrs fr pericarditis with need fr hspitalizatin Baseline features assciated with a specific (secndary cause) Fever>38 C Subacute nset Large pericardial effusin Cardiac tampnade Lack f respnse t aspirin r NSAIDs after at least 1 week f therapy Baseline features assciated with cmplicated in-hspital curse Mypericarditis Immundepressin Trauma Oral anticagulant therapy Little W et al. Circulatin 2006;113: Lange RA et al. NEJM 2004;351: Imazi M et al. Circulatin 2010;121:

17 NSAIDs Are cnsidered the crnerstne f treatment and suppress inflammatin in 85-90% f cases. It shuld be nted that NSAIDs have n effect in preventing further recurrences, r ther cmplicatins such as cardiac tampnade and cnstrictive pericarditis A PPI shuld be always c-administered. Eur Heart J. 2004;25: N Engl J Med. 2004; Circulatin. 2006;113: Arch Intern Med 2005;165:

18 Imazi M. Curr Opin Cardil 2012;27:

19 Treatment length with NSAIDs The best length f treatment with NSAIDS is nt clearly established, but a reasnable time is that sufficient t induce symptms regressin and nrmalizatin f inflammatry markers (CRP), generally 1 2 weeks. Expert Rev Cardivasc Ther 2012;10;

20 Hazard rati, 2.36, P=0.004 Cnclusins: hs-crp is elevated at week1 f acute idipathic pericarditis, identifies patients at higher risk f recurrence, and culd be used t mnitr disease activity and select apprpriate therapy length.

21 Clchicine (n tp d NSAIDs!) It inhibits mitses in the cell nucleus. The drug is als able t cncentrate in leuccytes, where it exerts marked effects, altering adhesin, mbility, and cytkine prductin. Imazi M. Eur Heart J 2009;30: Maisch B, et al. Eur Heart J 2004;25:

22 Clchicine in the first episde f acute pericarditis The primary utcme ccurred in 20 patients (16.7%) in the clchicine grup and 45 patients (37.5%) in the placeb grup (relative risk reductin in the clchicine grup, 0.56, cnfidence interval, 0.30 t 0.72; number needed t treat, 4; p<0.001). N Engl J Med 2013;369:

23 Safety issues The mst usual adverse effect was diarrhea, which required interruptin f the medicatin in 7% f cases. Anther cmmn adverse effect f clchicine is a mderate increase in transaminases (7% f cases) A lading dse f 1 mg fllwed by a maintenance dse f 0.5 mg is reserved fr patients with bdy weight >70 kg and thse aged <70 years Imazi M. et al. Arch Intern Med. 2005;165: Imazi M, et al.eur Heart J 2009;30:

24 Crticsterids Accrding t the current guidelines in patients with a pr general cnditin, in cases f NSAIDs failure, and in frequent, hard-t-cntrl recurrences (Class IIa C) The guidelines recmmend a dse f mg/kgr prednisne fr at least 1 mnth, tapered ver a three-mnth perid. Eur Heart J. 2004;25: Am J Cardil : J Cardivasc Med (Hagerstwn) 200;8: Circulatin 2008;118: Circulatin 2006;113:

25 100 patients with recurrent pericarditis Half f the patients were given lw dses f prednisne ( mg/kg/day), while the thers received a high dse (1 mg/kg/day). 32% 64.7% It was als fund a lwer incidence f adverse effects in the lw dse regimen (23.5% vs. 2%, p=0.002). Imazi M, et al. Circulatin 2008;118:

26 Cardiac tampnade r suspected bacterial r neplastic etilgy? Yes Pericardicentesis and etilgy search N Elevated inflammatry markers?

27 Prgnsis The in-hspital mrtality f acute pericarditis is estimated at 1.1% Prgnsis is excellent in idipathic pericarditis and depends n the underlying cnditin in the secndary frms. Cmplicatins include recurrent pericarditis, cardiac tampnade and permanent cnstrictive pericarditis Kytö V, et al. Circulatin 2014;130:

28 Idipathic recurrent pericarditis = idipathic recurrent pericarditis frever! In a series f 61 patients wh were referred t a tertiary hspital fr resistant idipathic recurrent pericarditis were fllwed fr an average f 8.3 years: In (70.5%), pericarditis remained idipathic, whereas a new diagnsis f systemic inflammatry disease (namely and rheumatid arthritis and Sjgren s syndrme) was subsequently made in the rest. Key message Idipathic recurrent pericarditis is nt necessarily a lifelng diagnsis! Brucat A et al. Am J Cardil 2006;98:
