Pericarditis is the inflammation of the pericardium, the double-layered sac surrounding the heart. It typically presents with sharp chest pain and characteristic ECG changes, and may stem from infection, autoimmune disease, or injury. The term combines medical roots that identify the pericardium (peri-) and inflammation (-carditis).
