Pericarditis is seen quite often in daily clinical practice. It is a condition that is fairly easy to diagnose, but which frequently recurs.
A 23-year-old man suffered from recurring episodes of chest pain which, following further investigation, appeared to be a result of pericarditis. MRI revealed indications for acute exacerbation of chronic pericarditis. Additional investigation showed no underlying cause for the pericarditis. After long-term medication with calcium carbasalate and colchicine there was no recurrence and the patient was able to function as before.
Chest pain in young people can be a symptom of pericarditis. This condition quite often recurs, but in most patients no underlying cause is revealed. Adequate medication with calcium carbasalate and colchicine reduces the chance of recurrence.
心包炎在日常临床实践中较为常见。这是一种诊断相对容易但经常复发的病症。
一名23岁男性反复出现胸痛症状，进一步检查后发现似乎是心包炎所致。磁共振成像（MRI）显示有慢性心包炎急性加重的迹象。进一步检查未发现心包炎的潜在病因。长期服用卡巴匹林钙和秋水仙碱后未再复发，患者能够像以前一样正常生活。
年轻人的胸痛可能是心包炎的症状。这种病症经常复发，但大多数患者未发现潜在病因。使用卡巴匹林钙和秋水仙碱进行充分治疗可降低复发几率。
