Acute and recurrent pericarditis are the most common disorders involving the pericardium. There are few available epidemiological data and the exact incidence and prevalence of acute and recurrent pericarditis are unknown. However, acute pericarditis is recorded in about 0.1 % of hospitalized patients and 5 % of patients admitted to the Emergency Department for non-ischemic chest pain [1, 2]. In an observational study from an urban area in Northern Italy the incidence of acute pericarditis was 27.7 cases per 100,000 persons per year [3].

Abstract
Acute and recurrent pericarditis are the most common disorders involving the pericardium. There are few available epidemiological data and the exact incidence and prevalence of acute and recurrent pericarditis are unknown. However, acute pericarditis is recorded in about 0.1 % of hospitalized patients and 5 % of patients admitted to the Emergency Department for non-ischemic chest pain [1, 2]. In an observational study from an urban area in Northern Italy the incidence of acute pericarditis was 27.7 cases per 100,000 persons per year [3].File in questo prodotto:
