Contemporary Issues in Cardiology Practice Quality of Life in Patients With Recurrent Pericarditis

Recurrent pericarditis (RP) poses a significant burden on individuals' quality of life. The psychosocial effects of RP are not well understood. It cannot be overlooked, because it can affect the psychosocial well-being of the patients because of the chronicity of the symptoms and multiple flare-ups. Addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by RP requires a comprehensive approach that not only focuses on symptom control but also emphasizes patient education, psychological support, and shared decisionmaking to optimize physical and emotional well-being. Therefore, we aim to share our perspective on the effect of RP on the quality of life of the patients.
