Background: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) can arise from various causes, including post-operative degeneration, tuberculosis, and sequelae of pericarditis. Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease is a rare but recognized cause of CP. However, the specific mechanisms underlying these aetiologies and pathologies remain unclear.

Purpose Of Review: To outline the latest discoveries regarding the utility and reliability of serum biomarkers in idiopathic recurrent acute pericarditis (IRAP), considering recent findings on its pathogenesis. The study highlights the predictive role of these biomarkers in potential short- (cardiac tamponade, recurrences) and long-term complications (constrictive pericarditis, death).
Recent Findings: The pathogenesis of pericarditis has been better defined in recent years, focusing on the autoinflammatory pathway.

Aim: We developed a rapid evaluation scale for pericardiectomy through a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.
Method: In this study, 262 patients with tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (102 patients) and non-tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (160 patients) were selected by convenience sampling method as participants in Hangzhou Red Corss Hospital from January 2018 to April 2023. The expert validity analysis was carried out by cross-sectional investigation combined with the results of the previous expert questionnaire to establish 12-lead ECG-based the rapid evaluate scale for pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.
