The ESC guidelinesPericardial effusion is a common complication of acute pericarditis. 17034 Colchicine (Colcrys) is a promising adjunctive option in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events, probably because of its ability to stop or slow neutrophil reaction to intravascular cholesterol crystals.
Colchicine is a lipid-soluble medication that is absorbed in the jejunum and ileum.Acute pericarditis is the most common pericardial disease and accounts for 5% of non-ischemic chest pains presenting to the emergency department.Currently, the diagnosis of recurrent pericarditis requires the presence of two major criteria: 1) documentation of a previous pericarditis episode and 2) a symptom-free interval of at least 4-6 weeks.PCIS is an umbrella term for a constellation of situations ultimately resulting in symptomatic pericarditis. xref 0000007740 00000 n 0000144356 00000 n Gastrointestinal negative side effects have consisted of diarrhea, queasiness, puking, and also stomach discomfort in virtually 80 % of cured individuals, and also can be a sign of severe colchicine toxicity.

However, other etiologies such as malignancy, idiopathic, and auto-immune diseases could cause pericardial effusion with or without acute pericarditis.
