"Is your chest pain a sign of something more serious? What if it's not your heart, but the sac around it? In this episode, we explore the often-misunderstood world of pericardial diseases, starting with the critical issue of cardiac tamponade. We'll break down the key symptoms of acute pericarditis, the dangers of a pericardial effusion and the long-term risks of constrictive pericarditis. You'll also learn about the crucial diagnostic role of ECG, CT scans, and cardiac catheterization and how they help guide pericardiocentesis, medical therapies, and even pericardiectomy. We'll discuss the impact of infections (including viral pericarditis and tuberculous pericarditis), autoimmune diseases, and other rare conditions. If you've experienced chest pain, shortness of breath, or any heart-related concerns, join us to gain valuable insights into pericardial diseases."

Are you looking for reliable information on pericardial diseases? This video is based on the 2015 ESC Guidelines, a benchmark resource for healthcare professionals. We explain acute pericarditis, including common symptoms and diagnostic criteria, and discuss the management of pericardial effusion and the potentially fatal cardiac tamponade. The guidelines, developed by a task force chaired by Yehuda Adler and Philippe Charron, address the complexities of constrictive pericarditis, and include details on various diagnostic tools like ECG, CT scans, and cardiac catheterization. We will explain treatment options including pericardiocentesis, medications, and when surgical intervention like pericardiectomy may be necessary. The document also explores specific causes like viral pericarditis and tuberculous pericarditis, in detail. To review the full guidelines, visit the ESC website at http://www.escardio.org/guidelines. The complete article is available with the DOI:10.1093/eurheartj/ehv318 published in the European Heart Journal."
