Risk calculators and risk factors for Post myocardial infarction pericarditis

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Overview

Post MI pericarditis occurs in 17% to 25% of patients 2 to 4 days following an MI.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Post MI pericarditis occurs in 17 to 25% of cases of acute myocardial infarction.

Differentiating Post MI Pericarditis from other Conditions

Post myocardial infarction pericarditis occurs between days 2 and 4 after the myocardial infarction. In contrast, Dressler's syndrome typically occurs 2 to 10 weeks after a myocardial infarction has occurred[1]. Post MI pericarditis also needs to be differentiated from pulmonary embolism, another identifiable cause of pleuritic (and non-pleuritic) chest pain in people who have been hospitalized and/or undergone surgical procedures within the preceding weeks.
