Overview
Electrocardiogram
- Acute pericarditis can mimic myocardial infarction (STEMI) signs and electrocardiogram and present with chest pain and cardiac enzyme (bio-marker) elevation.[1]
- IF pericarditis does not follow myocarditis and vice versa, the differentiation is made as following:[2][3][4]
- Morphology:
- Distribution:
- Pericarditis shows a non-specific ST-elevation pattern while STEMI shows specific changes based on the infarction location.
- Reciprocal changes:
- Concurrent ST and T wave changes:
- Pericarditis is not followed by ST-segment elevation and T wave.
- Those changes are pretty common in STEMI.
- PR segment:
- Pericarditis shows PR elevation in aVR with PR depression in other leads because of atrial injury.
- STEMI does not show such changes.
- Other signs:
- Hyperacute T waves
- New pathologic Q waves
- QT prolongation
- These signs are rarely seen in acute pericarditis
- Shown below is an EKG with the presence of micro-voltage and electrical alternans suggesting pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade.
