Abstract
Pericarditis is an inflammatory process that affects the layers of the pericardium. It is characterized by chest pain and electrocardiogram changes and may be followed by pericardial effusion and rub. Here, we aimed to identify the main clinical diagnosis criteria and therapeutic management approaches of pericarditis, its variants, and related complications.
