Overview
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
OR
Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- Tuberculous pericarditis does not have the typical classic presentation of an acute pericarditis (sudden-onset chest pain and typical ECG changes).
- Instead, it most commonly presents with systemic signs and symptoms:[1]
- Cough (94%)
- Dyspnea (88%)
- Chest pain (76%)
- Fever (70%)
- Night sweats (56%)
- Orthopnea (53%)
- Weight loss (48%)
- If left untreated, tuberculous pericarditis can be complicated by constrictive pericarditis which can then ultimately lead to heart failure.[2]
Complications
- Common complications of [disease name] include:
- [Complication 1]
- [Complication 2]
- [Complication 3]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [--]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
