📋Overview
Recurrent pericarditis is a condition characterized by repeated episodes of inflammation of the pericardium, the thin sac-like membrane surrounding the heart. It is considered a subtype of pericarditis, distinguished by the recurrence of symptoms after an initial episode has resolved. The modern terminology focuses on pericarditis with recurrent episodes rather than older or less specific labels.
