Pericardial Diseases

Pericardial disease ranges from common acute pericarditis to rare constrictive and tumoral pathology. Sessions cover acute and recurrent pericarditis treatment including anti-IL-1 therapies (anakinra, rilonacept, goflikicept), constrictive pericarditis differentiation and pericardiectomy outcomes, pericardial effusion and tamponade, autoimmune and post-cardiac-injury syndromes, and the role of multimodality imaging. Discussion includes the inflammatory framework now reshaping recurrent disease management.
