Long-Standing Chronic Recurrent Pericarditis Managed With Advanced Diagnostic and Therapeutic Methods
A 65-year-old woman with a history of idiopathic pericarditis presented with chronic recurrent pericarditis. Because of the inability to taper off anakinra without recurrent flares, she transitioned to rilonacept, which led to symptom abatement. Her positive response to rilonacept therapy correlated with an improvement in inflammatory changes noted on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
