ABSTRACT

Pericardial diseases are common, have multiple causes, and are often misdiagnosed. Physicians need to recognize the characteristic and distinguishing features of the three most important pericardial conditions: acute pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, and constrictive pericarditis. In these conditions, proper diagnosis and appropriate management can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality.
