The common clinical presentation involves; pyrexia, retrosternal chest pain and breathlessness. [jstcr.org]

Pain also results in an increase in sympathetic nervous system activities, which is manifested by tachycardia, hypertension, and increased oxygen consumption; this latter condition predisposes the patient to myocardial ischemia. [biomedsearch.com]

Upon admission, the patient presented with respiratory distress, fever, tachycardia and increased oxygen requirements, which was explained by a septic pattern of pulmonary origin and pericarditis. [revistas.unal.edu.co]

Development of Tachycardia When blood pressure falls, sympathetic overflow occurs and tachycardia is developed. [drnajeeblectures.com]

On exam there are two important diagnostic findings: a pericardial friction rub, and a pericardial effusion on bedside U/S. [thesgem.com]

The physical exam may demonstrate: a pericardial friction rub classically triphasic, two components in diastole and one in systole may be transient signs of tamponade classically Beck's triad, with jugular venous distension, hypotension, and muffled heart [radiopaedia.org]

Physical Pericarditis Pericardial friction rub: The most common and important physical finding is a pericardial friction rub, which is best heard at the lower left sternal border or apex when the patient is positioned sitting forward or on hands and knees [odlarmed.com]

Clinically, most striking feature is loud pericardial friction rub. c) Suppurative pericarditis - almost invariably denotes invasion by infective organisms which reach the pericardial cavity by several routes: direct extension from neighboring inflammation [medpreponline.com]

There is often a pericardial friction rub with serial changes on the electrocardiogram. In dry pericarditis the friction rub is distinct, caused by deposits of fibrin, and may be heard through a stethoscope. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

From the signs of heart failure and cardiomegaly on chest X-ray the differential diagnosis of myocardial disease or pericardial effusion was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For investigations, the ECG is the diagnostic test of choice, which should show widespread ST elevation, and PR depression inferiorly and PR elevation in aVR. [thesgem.com]

Initial electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed a sinus tachycardia and subtle saddle shaped ST elevation in V3 to V6. Chest radiograph (CXR) was unremarkable and a troponin level was Analgesia was given and he was observed overnight. [jstcr.org]
