Implication

ECG changes may aid acute pericarditis diagnosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Population

57 patients with acute pericarditis of different etiologic types (including 13 cases of rheumatic pericarditis)

Outcome

Electrocardiographic changes (diminished amplitude of the ventricular complex, inversion of the T wave, and elevation of the RST segment)surrogate

Acute pericarditis frequently presents with distinctive electrocardiographic changes, such as diminished ventricular amplitude, T wave inversion, and RST segment elevation, which can be diagnostically valuable.
