Pericarditis is a condition in which the protective lining around the heart (the pericardium) becomes inflamed. Recurrent pericarditis is an autoinflammatory disease where pericarditis episodes (or “flares”) come back more than 4 weeks after the first flare goes away.
A diagnosis of pericarditis or recurrent pericarditis can come with more questions than answers. We’ve worked with people in the pericarditis community to develop this site to help uncover the answers you have been looking for, as well as educational content, tips for self-advocacy, and information on when pericarditis can become recurrent pericarditis.
