  Figure 1. Electrocardiogram on previous admission demonstrating signs of acute pericarditis. Diffuse ST-segment elevation demonstrated by black arrows. Reciprocal PR segment elevation (red arrow) and ST depression (blue arrow) in aVR.

  Figure 2. Electrocardiogram on admission demonstrating sinus tachycardia and left atrial enlargement (black arrow indicating P wave enlargement in lead II and lead V1).

• 

  Figure 3. CTA with and without contrast demonstrating no pulmonary embolism, pleural effusions with bilateral basilar atelectasis or consolidation (demonstrated by grey arrows), stable pericardial effusion (demonstrated by black arrow).

  Figure 4. Transthoracic Echocardiogram demonstrating signs of pericarditis. (A) Subcostal view of prior TTE one month ago demonstrating small pericardial effusion with mild echogenicity of the visceral pericardium (demonstrated by red arrow). (B) Short axis view of current TTE demonstrating persistent pericardial effusion (demonstrated by white arrow) with enhanced echogenicity of the visceral pericardium (demonstrated by the blue arrow). (C, D) Four-chamber view of current TTE further demonstrating circumferential thickening (demonstrated by white arrow) and echogenicity of the visceral pericardium (demonstrated by the blue arrow).
