Key Points

To synthesize contemporary clinical evidence, multimodality imaging advances, and mechanism-guided therapeutic strategies across the spectrum of pericardial diseases.
Reviewed diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms across clinical entities including recurrent pericarditis, post-cardiac injury syndrome, autoimmune pericarditis, and constrictive pericarditis.
Evaluated the application of multimodality cardiovascular imaging, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization.
Cardiac MRI and structured risk prediction tools refine the identification of reversible inflammatory phenotypes and guide management in recurrent pericarditis.
Novel biologic therapies targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway show therapeutic promise across ongoing phase II and phase III clinical trials.
Early medical optimization of reversible constrictive physiology and timely surgical referral for pericardiectomy remain crucial determinants of patient outcomes.
