Scenario - Pericarditis

Examples of ECGs of the 4 stages of pericarditis are here.
  • Stage 1: Diffuse concave ST elevation with PR depression
  • Stage 2: PR depression only with pseudonormalization
  • Stage 3: T wave inversion
  • Stage 4: Normalization
Good review in NEJM here. A further review on the use of colchicine in the treatment of acute and recurrant pericarditis is available here.
