Infective Pericarditis
Overview
ECG Findings in Pericarditis
- Widespread concave (saddle-shaped) ST elevation (may not be present in aVR or V1)
- PR depression
- T wave changes - flattening then inversion
Stages of ECG Findings in Pericarditis
- Stage I - widespread concave ST elevation
- Stage II - resolution of ST elevation, T wave flattening
- Stage III - T wave inversion
- Stage IV - resolution of T wave inversion
