Investigations of Acute pericarditis (part I):
ECG: Four stages have been described (Acute pericarditis):
>Stage 1: diffuse ST segment elevation (epicardial inflammation) and PR segment depression, with reciprocal ST segment depression in the aVR and V 1 leads, within the first hours to days.
There can also be PR segment elevation in the aVR (atrial injury)
>Stage 2: the ST and PR segments normalize.
>Stage 3: T wave inversion.
>Stage 4: ECG normal or T wave inversion persists indefinitely..
