== 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 [[medical sign|sign]] of pericarditis is a [[pericardial rub|friction rub]].  Other signs include ST-elevation and PR-depression on [[Electrocardiogram|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:
* [[Pericardial effusion]]
* [[Constrictive pericarditis]]
* [[Cardiac tamponade]] [http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?objectid=CE3BC2CF-B4C1-4401-8F0F9E0B7C284538&dsection=6]
