Multimodal imaging utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance successfully distinguished inflammatory Dressler's syndrome from hemorrhagic pericarditis, enabling safe anticoagulation for a concurrent left ventricular thrombus.
Case Report (n=1)
CMR is a crucial multimodal imaging tool for safely distinguishing inflammatory from hemorrhagic pericardial complications in post-MI patients, guiding appropriate anticoagulation therapy.
Szlósarczyk et al. (Mon,) conducted a case report in Post-infarction pericarditis (n=1). Multimodal imaging (Echocardiography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance) was evaluated. Multimodal imaging utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance successfully distinguished inflammatory Dressler's syndrome from hemorrhagic pericarditis, enabling safe anticoagulation for a concurrent left ventricular thrombus.
