A member asked:

Is it possible to still have arrhythmia even after pericarditis has been treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's possible. The factor is if there was damage to the heart and the rhythm generating fibers during the inflammation. Complete recovery is always possible but in medicine we are taught to never say never.
