Abstract


Pericardial diseases encompass a range of conditions impacting the pericardium, the protective sac surrounding the heart. From acute pericarditis to constrictive pericarditis, these conditions can impair cardiac function in a significant manner and result in severe complications if left untreated. While various treatment modalities exist, including non-pharmacological approaches such as pericardiocentesis and surgical interventions, pharmacotherapy plays an important role in managing pericardial diseases in humans.
