Overview
Post-Myocardial Infarction Pericarditis, also named peri-infarction pericarditis, is defined as acute pericarditis occurring within 7 days following an acute myocardial infarction.
Historical Perspective
Classification
Pathophysiology
Extension of myocardial infarction to the epicardial surface, which occurs in transmural MI, causes local pericardial inflammation adjacent to the infarction zone with resultant acute fibrinous pericarditis.
Causes
Acute fibrinous pericarditis occurs following transmural myocardial infarction.
Differentiating peri-infarction pericarditis from other Diseases
The chest pain of pericarditis must be differentiated from post-infarction angina and recurrent infarction. Pleuritic nature of pain and/or radiation of pain to either trapezius ridge may help in differentiating PIP from other causes of chest pain following MI.
Epidemiology and Demographics
The incidence of PIP has decreased in recent years due to following the widespread use of fibrinolytic or mechanical reperfusion therapy. Recent studies estimated an incidence of less than 2% among patients with ST-elevation MI.[1]
