摘要: Recurrent pain without clinical evidence of acute pericarditis was recorded in 27 275 patients (9.8%; mean age 55.6 +/- 16.0 years, female/male ratio 20/7) with previous viral or idiopathic pericarditis. Female gender (odds [OR] 4.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8 to 10.6), use corticosteroids (OR 5.2, CI 2.2 12.3), and recurrent 3.7, 1.3 10.2) were identified as risk factors for this syndrome. After a follow-up 40 months, higher recurrence rate these (33.3% vs 14.1%; p = 0.02) well nonsignificant trend constrictive
