    Pericardial disease in the developing world is dominated primarily by effusive and constrictive syndromes and contributes to the acute and chronic heart failure burden in many regions. The confluence of geography (location in the tropics), a significant burden of diseases of poverty and neglect, and a significant contribution of communicable diseases to the general burden of disease is reflected in the wide etiological spectrum of causes of pericardial disease. The prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in particular, is high throughout much of the developing world where it is the most frequent and important cause of pericarditis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

    Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common dysrhythmia that affects a significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Many studies aim to better understand this complex postsurgical complication by analysing circulating biomarkers in patients who develop POAF. More recently, the pericardial space was shown to contain inflammatory mediators that could trigger POAF. In this review we summarise recent studies that examine the immune mediators present in the pericardial space and their potential implications for the pathophysiology of POAF in cardiac surgery patients.
