Implication

Clinicians should consider post-MI syndrome in differential diagnosis to avoid mistherapy; literature review leaves open need for prospective validation.

Key Points

Review recent literature and clinical experience regarding postmyocardial infarction syndrome to outline its manifestations and therapeutic implications.
Synthesized recent published literature on postmyocardial infarction syndrome.
Evaluated institutional clinical experience to compare presentations and management strategies.
Identified that cardinal manifestations of the syndrome easily mimic common post-infarction complications, including cardiac failure, recurrent myocardial infarction, and pulmonary embolism.
Determined that diagnostic confusion with other sequelae frequently leads to inappropriate therapeutic interventions.
