Abstract Acute pericarditis as a presenting sign of adrenal insufficiency is rarely reported. We present a rare case that highlights pericarditis as a clinical presentation of secondary adrenal insufficiency later complicated by cardiac tamponade. [cureus.com]

Fulminant clinical tamponade presents with symptoms that depend on its etiology. [textbookofcardiology.org]

• Arm Pain

  Treatment Patients with acute idiopathic or viral pericarditis should rest in bed or in an arm chair while inflammatory symptoms persist (pericardial pain and fever). [revespcardiol.org]

• Pleuritic Pain

  C 19 Patients with pleuritic pain should have chest radiography to evaluate for underlying pneumonia. C 9 Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be used to control pleuritic pain. [aafp.org]

  Abdominal pain occurs occasionally in children. Differential diagnosis Other causes of chest pain - in particular: Myocardial infarction or ischaemia. Pleuritic pain. Pulmonary infarction. Peptic ulcer disease or oesophagitis. [patient.info]

  Pleuritic pain has some elements in common with pericarditis, but the pain is located at the sides of the chest. Pericarditis may coexist with pleuritis (pleuropericarditis), and pain therefore has mixed characteristics. [revespcardiol.org]

• Pericardial Friction Rub

  Diagnosis is based on the presence of two of the following: chest pain, pericardial friction-rub, ECG changes (new widespread ST-elevation or PR depression) and pericardial effusion. [icrjournal.com]

  Its main clinical manifestations are: chest pain, pericardial friction rub and fever. [dialnet.unirioja.es]

  The condition typically presents with fever, pleuritic chest pain, and a pericardial friction rub heard on auscultation. [amboss.com]

• Withdrawn

  In any case, it seems reasonable to limit physical exercise, especially when corticosteroid or antiinflammatory treatment is being withdrawn. [revespcardiol.org]

  Fluid is withdrawn until intrapericardial pressure falls below right atrial pressure, usually to subatmospheric levels. A plastic catheter may be passed through the needle into the sac and the needle withdrawn if continued drainage is needed. [ceufast.com]

Endocrinology was consulted for further workup and management of adrenal insufficiency of unclear etiology. [cureus.com]

It is concluded that in hospitalized patients with pericarditis, an extensive workup may not reveal the major etiologies, and the disease may be more complicated than previously thought. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Cardiac workup was otherwise negative; the patient improved with conservative measures. In this case report, we describe a little known complication after upper endoscopy. [casereports.bmj.com]

A routine fever workup was negative. She was discharged the following day. The patient was readmitted three months later with recurrent pleuritic chest pain, which did not improve with resumption of NSAID therapy. [the-hospitalist.org]

• T Wave Inversion

  T-wave inversions (negative T-waves) ST elevations are normalized slowly in pericarditis. It may take weeks for the ST elevations to resolve. Thereafter, T-wave inversion typically ensues. [ecgwaves.com]

  It is characterised by the normalization of the ST segment and widespread T wave flattening. Stage 3 Acute Pericarditis, Stage 3 T wave inversion. [en.my-ekg.com]

  Twenty-four hours after the episode, T wave inversions insisted in leads I, aVL, V4-V6 and flattened T waves appeared in leads II and aVF (Figure 1C). [hippokratia.gr]

  As the disease progresses so may the ECG: there may be notched T waves, biphasic T waves or T wave inversion. These T wave changes may last for weeks or months but are of no clinical significance if the patient has recovered clinically. [rcemlearning.co.uk]

  Stage II : ST segments return to baseline; T-wave flattening. Stage III : T-wave inversion. Stage IV : gradual resolution of T-wave inversion. [patient.info]

Other Types of Treatment If you have serious complications from pericarditis, you may need treatments that require hospital stays. [heart.org]

During colchicine treatment, only 7 of the 51 patients had recurrences. In addition, the symptom-free period was significantly longer after starting colchicine treatment: 3.1 months vs 43 months. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

The long-term prognosis was good, although 21.9% of the patients suffered from recurrent episodes of pericarditis. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Though the child may be critically ill with a poor prognosis, the outlook is better than it was in preantibiotic days. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Significantly raised WCC is an indicator of poor prognosis and will therefore make inpatient management more likely. [rcemlearning.co.uk]

Prognosis of the disease is excellent, as severe complications are rare. [textbookofcardiology.org]

Preliminary data have shown that it may be effective also in treatment of the index attack of pericarditis and the prevention of further recurrences. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Other times, more intense treatment is needed to prevent complications. Treatment may include medicines and, less often, procedures or surgery. You usually can't prevent acute pericarditis. [surgery.ucsf.edu]
