ABSTRACT

Inflammatory pericardial disease is a group of diseases that include acute pericarditis, constrictive pericarditis, pericardial effusion and tamponade. Clinical diagnosis is really a challenge, and multiple imaging tools are needed to complement each other and provide information for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases. In this narrative review we will discuss the main multimodal imaging techniques (echocardiography, tomography, magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography) and their real applications in the approach of this entity.
