Footnotes
On completion of this article, you should be able to: (1) identify the diagnostic criteria for acute and relapsing pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, and constrictive pericarditis; (2) integrate the information obtained from a history, physical examination, electrocardiography, and laboratory studies to determine if further imaging modalities or invasive cardiac catheterization is necessary for the diagnosis of the various pericardial syndromes; and (3) apply management strategies on the basis of evidence and clinical experience to decrease morbidity and improve survival in patients with pericardial disease.
