Why the study?
How often is pericarditis associated with myocardial infarction diagnosable by electrocardiographic changes?
How often is pericarditis associated with myocardial infarction diagnosable by electrocardiographic changes?
In acute infarction-associated pericarditis, a pericardial rub is the most frequent clinical sign, whereas diagnostic ST-segment changes on electrocardiography are rare.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Pericardial rub may be more reliable than ECG for post-MI pericarditis; leaves open whether diagnostic criteria need revision.
Krainin et al. (1984) studied this question.
