Overview
Pathophysiology & Etiology
Overview | Pericarditis causes
Differential Diagnosis for Diseases of the Pericardium
Pericarditis differential diagnosis | Acute Pericarditis | Chronic Pericarditis
Clinical presentation
Chest pain, radiating to the back and relieved by sitting up forward and worsened by lying down, is the classical presentation. Other symptoms of pericarditis may include dry cough, fever, fatigue and anxiety. Pericarditis can be misdiagnosed as myocardial infarction, and vice versa.
The classic sign of pericarditis is a friction rub. Other signs include ST-elevation and PR-depression on EKG (all leads); cardiac tamponade (pulsus paradoxus with hypotension), and congestive heart failure (elevated jugular venous pressure with peripheral edema).
Natural History
Most cases of acute idiopathic pericarditis resolve without complications or recurrence. Complications may include:
