About Recurrent pericarditis.

Recurrent pericarditis is an autoinflammatory cardiovascular condition characterized by repeated flares of inflammation affecting the fibroelastic sac surrounding the heart, occurring after a documented symptom-free interval of at least 4 to 6 weeks following an initial or prior acute episode.

It develops as a complication in approximately 15% to 30% of patients following acute pericarditis and is predominantly driven by innate immune dysregulation, often involving the interleukin-1 signaling cascade.

Defining clinical features include positional, pleuritic chest pain alongside objective evidence of disease activity, such as elevated systemic inflammatory biomarkers, a pericardial friction rub, diagnostic electrocardiographic changes, new or worsening pericardial effusion, and late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
