Abstract
Idiopathic recurrent pericarditis is a rare pathology characterised by recurrent inflammation in the cardiac cavity. Treatment of recurrent pericarditis is empirical and based on the use of drugs with anti-inflammatory properties. First-line drugs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and colchicine, second-line drugs are glucocorticosteroids. This is associated with the development of undesirable side effects, which makes it impossible to continue therapy in a number of patients. This article presents two clinical cases, describes the course of the disease and the development of complications at different stages. This article demonstrates the complexity of selecting the optimal therapy in real clinical practice.
