Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Acute chest pain in young adults can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Pericarditis, inflammation of the pericardium, is a potential cause.
  • Minimal coronary risk factors are noted in this case.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of acute pericarditis in a young Chinese man.
  • To highlight diagnostic findings, including characteristic ECG changes.
  • To discuss the management and potential complications of acute pericarditis.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Analysis of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) findings.
  • Clinical assessment of acute chest pain and risk factors.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with acute chest pain.
  • ECG revealed sinus rhythm with widespread upward concave ST segment elevations.
  • Pericardial effusion developed subsequently.

Conclusions:

  • ECG changes and clinical presentation were suggestive of acute pericarditis.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Understanding complications like pericardial effusion is important.
