Abstract:
Recognizing a myocardial infarction (MI) is an important requirement of any clinician; however, what may become challenging is recognizing post-MI-related complications. In cases such as the one presented here, some patients who are late to receive evaluation with MI can develop peri-infarct pericarditis. This unique complication is important to consider should patients develop signs of pericarditis after a recent MI and requires a treatment regimen designed to manage both pericarditis and MI simultaneously.
