Dr. Abrar Jamal Kamal, Dr. Rasha Ahmed Sayfayn, Dr. Bashayer Hammad Aljehani

In this review, we discuss diagnostic methods if this condition was suspected by family doctor, also clinical presentation to rule out and treatment methods if this disease was approved. For this Review we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL. To search CENTRAL and MEDLINE we combined the following search strategy with the mesh terms for identifying the relevant studies published up to August, 2019 acute pericarditis in family medicine” “primary care” “management” AND “family physicians”. Pericarditis is a cause of chest ache with numerous etiologies. Acute pericarditis is a self-limiting disorder without considerable complications or recurrences in 70% to 90% of patients. Regardless of improvements in diagnostic methods there remains a substantial variety of patients with acute pericarditis, the etiology of which cannot be classified precisely. This latter group will be tightened just after additional professional description and clinical research study. The diagnosis of nonspecific pericarditis needs to be made thoroughly as a result of similarity of its start to that of myocardial infarction and its benign program with propensity to relapse.
