摘要

Purpose of the Review

Pericardial diseases, although common, can present significant management challenges, notably in recurrent or refractory cases. This review highlights evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, focusing on recent advancements.

Recent Findings

Emerging diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options have significantly enhanced the management of pericardial diseases including computed tomography-assisted pericardiocentesis, particularly in patients with poor visualization by transthoracic echocardiography. Therapeutic advances for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis include new immunosuppressive therapies with promising efficacy in reducing both recurrence rates and symptom burden.

Summary

Pericardial diseases are prevalent and often complex, requiring a tailored approach to management. Novel advances in imaging technologies and pharmacologic therapies have improved diagnostic precision and patient care. Continued research and clinical trials are essential to further refine these strategies.
