What is the treatment for acute pericarditis ?
• Pain relief (codeine) and anti-inflammatory agents (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as indometacin).
• Steroids should be considered only when the pain does not respond to a com-bination of NSAIDs.
• Treatment of the underlying cause.
• Colchicine has been used to treat recurrent pain of pericarditis, and rarely peri-cardiectomy may be required for pain even in the setting of no haemodynamic impairment.
