Heart Health Series | Pericardial Disease
Episode 647
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Hema Narayanasamy, M.B.B.S. Pericardial disease represents a spectrum of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders which involve the pericardium, with acute pericarditis being the most common disorder. Although not often seen in a primary care practice, we still need to consider pericarditis as it can masquerade several other more commonly seen conditions. It’s important to recognize pericardial disease early and decide who needs an urgent referral or hospitalization for appropriate treatment. What are some of the more common causes of pericardial disease? What are the most commonly encountered symptoms, physical exam findings, imaging results, and lab abnormalities? What are the potential complications? The topic for today’s podcast is pericardial disease, and my guest is Dr. Hema Narayanasamy, from the Department of Cardiovascular Disease from the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.
