However, a thorough diagnostic workup ruled out myocardial injury, and further evaluation suggested that the patient’s electrocardiographic pattern was caused by a regional or localized pericarditis. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

• ST Elevation

  Characteristics of ST elevations in STEMI ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) causes localized ST elevations, meaning that there are ST elevations in a few leads which are anatomically neighbouring (so called contiguous leads ). [ecgwaves.com]

  This can lead to ST elevation in all leads. Therefore, it is important to distinguish pericarditis from a myocardial infarction, which has more acute complaints and ST-elevations are limited to the infarct area. [en.ecgpedia.org]

  Pericarditis can cause localised ST elevation but there should be no reciprocal ST depression (except in AVR and V1). STEMI, like pericarditis, can also cause concave up ST elevation. Only STEMI causes convex up or horizontal ST elevation. [lifeinthefastlane.com]
