Risk calculators and risk factors for Pericarditis causes

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Overview

Pericarditis can present as a disorder primarily involving the pericardium (e.g viral etiologies), as a manifestation of a systemic illness (e.g. autoimmune illnesses), or as a manifestation of a disorder involving an adjacent anatomic structure (e.g. neoplastic). The most common viral infections causing pericarditis are reported to be coxsackievirus and echovirus, while histoplasmosis is the most common cause of fungal pericarditis in patients with an intact immune system. Pericarditis is most likely to occur in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
