Learning objectives
• Aims
-The participant should be able to diagnose the major pericardialdisease entities.
• Objectives
-is aware of the pathology, etiology and pathophysiology underlyingthe different pericardial syndromes.
- interprets relevant diagnostic measures such as relevant laboratoryinvestigations and imaging methods e.g. echocardiography for thediagnosis of dry pericarditis, pericardial effusion with and withouttamponade, constrictive and constrictive-effusive pericarditis byechocardiography and MRI
-knows medical (symptomatic and etiologcal) and interventionaltreatment options (pericardiocentesis, pericardioscopy, surgery)
-respects the limits of management in his practice and be able torefer the individual patient to specialized centers with a heartteam.

Which is the most frequently mentionedcause for a pericardial effusion in
internal medicine ?
a) Idiopathic pericarditis
b) Viral pericarditis
c) malignant pericarditis
d) Radiation induced pericarditis
Correct is a)
But is this a satisfying response ?

Case 3: V.A. * 10.12.1982 (female marothon runner): Recurrent „idiopathic“ effusive-constrictive pericarditis
1st episode of pericarditis January 10th 2001with precordialdiscomfort during half-marathon. Diagnosis made by the localcardiologist: Idiopathic pericarditis.
EKG: SR 84/min, extrasystole, otherwise normal
Echocardiography: A small pericardial effusion (Horowitz C1), nocontraction abnormalities.
Treatment: NSAIDs for 1 week and colchicine for 4 weeks.
After 4 weeks: no effusion, sports was started too early.
2nd episode of pericarditis with effusion in March 2001. Transfer to our clinic for further diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical work-up including peri- and epicardial biopsy: recurrentautoreactive pericarditis with effusion.
Treatment: intrapericardial triamcinolone
