摘要：

Recurrent pain without clinical evidence of acute pericarditis was recorded in 27 of 275 patients (9.8%; mean age 55.6 +/- 16.0 years, female/male ratio 20/7) with previous viral or idiopathic acute pericarditis. Female gender (odds ratio [OR] 4.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8 to 10.6), previous use of corticosteroids (OR 5.2, 95% CI 2.2 to 12.3), and previous recurrent pericarditis (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.3 to 10.2) were identified as risk factors for this syndrome. After a mean follow-up of 40 months, a higher recurrence rate was recorded in these patients (33.3% vs 14.1%; p = 0.02) as well as a nonsignificant trend to a higher rate of constrictive pericardits.
