The clinical diagnosis of acute pericarditis is based on simple criteria: typical chest pain, pericardial friction rub (Figure 2), widespread ST-segment elevation (Figure 3) and pericardial effusion ...

This ECG occurred in the setting of a large pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade. The pericardial effusion dampens the electrical signal on the ECG causing low voltage to be present (see Low ...

In acute pericarditis, the ECG typically shows a pattern of PR segment depression, concave ST-segment elevation, and T-wave inversion. 4 Myocarditis alone usually presents with nonspecific ST-segment ...

This ECG occurred in the setting of a large pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade. The pericardial effusion dampens the electrical signal on the ECG causing low voltage to be present (see Low ...

Pericardial involvement is common in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and, when combined with a focused clinical and echocardiographic evaluation, may help identify those at higher risk for ...

A 58-year-old woman presents to the hospital reporting fatigue, swelling of the legs and feet, and shortness of breath. She explains that her symptoms have been getting worse over the past 2 months.
