Pericarditis, Myocarditis, and Metabolic DisordersPericarditis Acute Acute pericarditis is characterized by ST elevation (concave upward) in leads facing the effusion (Figs. 7.1 – 7.3 ). Usually there are widespread T-wave inversions. In addition, the ECG can exhibit P-wave changes, low-voltage ...
Diffuse concave ST segment elevation with PR segment depression is seen. ST elevation is seen on the 12-lead ECG in patients with new-onset acute pericarditis (Fig. 1). There are 4 consecutive stages of pericarditis seen on the ECG (Fig. 2): ...
Laboratory testing showed mildly elevated C-reactive protein and a raised troponin I in the absence of elevation of the serum creatinine kinase. Electrocardiography (ECG) demonstrated concave ST segment elevations, and PR elevation in aVR and depression in lead II. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) ...

The exception to this observation may be seen in leads AVR and V1 where the ST segment is always depressed (Koos et al, 2009). The morphology of the ST segment elevation in acute pericarditis is characteristically concave 展开 DOI: 10.5772/23568 被引量: 2 ...
ECG changes described for acute pericarditis include low voltage QRS, diffuse, upwardly concave ST-segment elevation, T-wave inversion, and PR-segment depression, [78]. 8.3.7. Rationale for exclusion of obstructive coronary artery disease in adults Other etiologies of pericardial inflammation should ...
The ST segment in acute MI is usually convex, bowing upward with reciprocal changes, as opposed to concave ST segments without reciprocal changes observed in acute pericarditis and repolarization A study by Rossello et al indicated that unlike patients with acute ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), ...
Summary The ECG is useful in the diagnosis of acute pericarditis, with abnormalities found in approximately 90% of cases. The ST segment elevation in acute pericarditis is usually "concave", compared with the "convex" appearance of the ST segment in the acute injury stage of a myocardial ...
A repeat ECG also showed diffuse concave ST segment elevation with PR segment depression. Troponin I was normal (o0.02UG/L), as was White cell count and Neutrophil count. Chest X-ray was normal, with no evidence of pleural effusion. A multi-detector computed tomography scan was performed, ...
This was in addition to characteristic chest pain, fever, sweating, electrocardiogram (clear PR depression and subtle concave ST elevation) and imaging (echocardiography and Cardiac MRI) features.#Imaging Results:Pulmonary embolism was excluded by CT pulmonary angiography, but this scan did reveal a ...
