Pericarditis

Pericarditis

Pericarditis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the pericardium, a double-layered sac surrounding the heart. This inflammation often results in sharp chest pain, which can radiate to the neck, shoulders, or back. The pericardium normally provides lubrication to facilitate the heart's movements within the chest cavity, but when inflamed, it can lead to friction and discomfort. Causes of pericarditis include viral or bacterial infections, autoimmune diseases, and, in some cases, unknown factors. Symptoms may also include fever, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Treatment aims to alleviate symptoms and address the underlying cause, often involving anti-inflammatory medications. While pericarditis can range from mild to severe, prompt medical attention is crucial for proper management and prevention of potential complications.
