    Acute pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardial layers with various etiologies, leading to significant morbidity in cardiovascular healthcare.

  • 2

    Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is effective for assessing pericardial layers and detecting myocardial edema or scar.

  • 3

    Positive late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in pericardial layers is associated with a higher recurrence of pericardial events.

  • 4

    CMR feature tracking allows for sensitive assessment of atrial and ventricular strain, aiding in prognosis and risk stratification.

  • 5

    This study aims to explore the predictive value of atrial and ventricular strain parameters derived from CMR in acute pericarditis patients.
