==Overview==
==Overview==
[[Pericarditis]] in developed countries are usually due to viral infections such as [[echovirus]] and [[coxsackie virus]], while in developing countries it is usually secondary to [[tuberculosis]] or [[HIV]] infection. The incidence of pericarditis following [[MI]] has greatly reduced with the use of early [[thrombolytic]] agents and revascularization.
The [[incidence]] of [[Acute (medicine)|acute]] pericarditis is approximately 27.7 per 100,000 individuals annually. The [[Recurrence plot|recurrence]] of [[disease]] is seen in almost 30% of [[patients]] after first episode. The [[mortality rate]] of [[Acute (medicine)|acute]] pericarditis is approximately 1.1% in [[Developed country|developed countries]]. [[Patients]] of all [[age]] groups may [[Development|develop]] [[acute]] pericarditis. Although it commonly affects men in 20 to 50 years of [[age]]. [[Pericarditis]] in [[Developed country|developed countries]] is most commonly due to [[malignancy]] or [[viral infection]]. It usually follows [[respiratory infections]], most commonly [[echovirus]] or [[coxsackie virus]]. In [[children]], it is most commonly caused by [[adenovirus]] or [[coxsackie virus]]. In developing countries [[pericarditis]] is usually [[secondary]] to [[tuberculosis]] or [[HIV]] infection. [[Tuberculous pericarditis]], caused by [[Mycobacterium tuberculosis]], is found in approximately 1% of all [[Autopsy|autopsied]] cases of [[TB]] and in 1% to 2% of instances of [[pulmonary]] [[TB]].

Despite the relative high frequency of pericardial diseases, there are
few epidemiological data, especially from primary care. Pericarditis
is the most common disease of the pericardium encountered in clinical
practice. The incidence of acute pericarditis has been reported
as 27.7 cases per 100,000 population per year in an Italian urban
area.7 Pericarditis is responsible for 0.1% of all hospital admissions
and 5% of emergency room admissions for chest pain.4,5,42 Data collected
from a Finnish national registry (2000–9) showed a standardized
incidence rate of hospitalizations for acute pericarditis of 3.32
per 100,000 person-years.16 These data were limited to hospitalized
patients and therefore may account for only a minority of cases, as
many patients with pericarditis are commonly not admitted to hospital.
8,9,42,43 Men ages 16–65 years were at higher risk for pericarditis
(relative risk 2.02) than women in the general admitted
population, with the highest risk difference among young adults
compared with the overall population. Acute pericarditis caused
0.20% of all cardiovascular admissions. The proportion of caused admissions
declined by an estimated 51% per 10-year increase in age.
The in-hospital mortality rate for acute pericarditis was 1.1% and
was increased with age and severe co-infections (pneumonia or
septicaemia).16 However, this is a study based on hospital admissions
only. Recurrences affect about 30% of patients within
18 months after a first episode of acute pericarditis

Overview

The incidence of acute pericarditis is approximately 27.7 per 100,000 individuals annually. The recurrence of disease is seen in almost 30% of patients after first episode. The mortality rate of acute pericarditis is approximately 1.1% in developed countries. Patients of all age groups may develop acute pericarditis. Although it commonly affects men in 20 to 50 years of age. Pericarditis in developed countries is most commonly due to malignancy or viral infection. It usually follows respiratory infections, most commonly echovirus or coxsackie virus. In children, it is most commonly caused by adenovirus or coxsackie virus. In developing countries pericarditis is usually secondary to tuberculosis or HIV infection. Tuberculous pericarditis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is found in approximately 1% of all autopsied cases of TB and in 1% to 2% of instances of pulmonary TB.
