Constrictive pericarditis is associated with cellular senescence in human cells.
“Pericarditis cells displayed senescent changes, including short telomere length, large flattened cell sizes, positive staining for senescence-associated β-galactosidase, and limited growth capacity.”

Frailty linked to worse outcomes in heart sac inflammation

Within one year, frailty was linked to a 63% higher relative risk of death, hospitalization or specified heart complications compared with no frailty.Within one year, frailty was linked to a 63% higher relative risk of death, hospitalization or specified heart complications compared with no frailty.
