ABSTRACT
A 32-year-old professional athlete developed chronic recurrent pericarditis despite standard medical therapy. Etiology included postpericardiotomy syndrome, viral, or COVID-19 vaccine related, all potentially exacerbated by intense exercise. Treatment and return-to-play decisions were complicated by potential side-effect profile of therapies and ability to limit exercise as a professional athlete. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
