    Summary

    Constrictive pericarditis patterns have shifted over 24 years. Recent data show an increase in nonspecific causes and a decrease in rheumatic and tuberculous pericarditis incidence.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardium, can lead to constrictive pericarditis, a serious condition affecting heart function.
    • Understanding the etiological trends and evolving patterns of pericarditis is crucial for effective clinical management and public health strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the etiological factors and temporal trends in constrictive pericarditis over a 24-year period.
    • To describe the transformation in the patterns of pericarditis causation observed in surgical patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 325 patients operated on for constrictive pericarditis between 1974 and 1998.
    • Review of published literature and author observations on pericarditis causation and patterns.

    Main Results:

    • A significant shift in the etiology of pericarditis was observed over the study period.
    • The incidence of pericarditis of nonspecific etiology has increased in the last 12 years.
    • Conversely, the incidence of pericarditis of rheumatic and tuberculous genesis has substantially decreased.

    Conclusions:

    • The etiological landscape of constrictive pericarditis has evolved, with a notable rise in nonspecific causes.
    • This epidemiological shift necessitates re-evaluation of diagnostic and treatment approaches for pericarditis.
