Acute idiopathic pericarditis

Acute idiopathic pericarditis has shown an increasing trend in recent years. The etiology is not yet fully clear; it may be due to direct viral invasion or infection followed by an autoimmune response. Therefore, acute idiopathic pericarditis is also called acute nonspecific pericarditis or viral pericarditis. The natural course of this disease is generally 2-6 weeks, and most patients can recover spontaneously. Treatment mainly focuses on relieving cardiac tamponade and symptomatic treatment. Active prevention of viral infection and enhancement of the body's immunity should be undertaken to reduce the occurrence of this disease.
