Abstract

Pericardial diseases are fairly common pathology, which has to deal with doctors of various specialties, often representing difficulties in diagnosis. The article discusses the most important issues and new data based on the materials of the European Society of Cardiology for diagnosis and management of patients with pericardial disease, published in 2015.
