Acute nonspecific idiopathic pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium, the membranous sac that surrounds the heart, without an identifiable cause. it is usually self-limiting and resolves within a few weeks without treatment, but can recur or become chronic in some cases.
What happens during the disease - acute nonspecific idiopathic pericarditis
Acute nonspecific idiopathic pericarditis is an inflammatory disorder of the pericardium that is thought to be caused by an autoimmune response. this response leads to an infiltration of inflammatory cells into the pericardial tissue, resulting in an accumulation of fluid and inflammation of the pericardium. this inflammation can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and arrhythmias.
