Lupus People with lupus may have chest pain due to inflammation of the sac around the heart (pericarditis). More serious but rare effects on the heart are inflammation of the walls of the coronary arteries (coronary artery vasculitis), which can lead to angina (see Angina), and inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis), which can lead to heart failure (see Heart Failure).

Electrocardiographic Manifestations and Differential Diagnosis of Acute Pericarditis The electrocardiogram (ECG) is very useful in the diagnosis of acute pericarditis. Characteristic manifestations of acute pericarditis on ECG most commonly include diffuse ST-segment elevation. However, other conditions may have ECG features similar to those of acute pericarditis.

Pericardial Disease Acute pericarditis is an inflammatory process involving the pericardium that results in a clinical syndrome characterized by chest pain, pericardial friction rub, changes in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and occasionally, a pericardial effusion. Generally, the diagnosis requires 2 of these 3 features.

Electrocardiographic Manifestations and Differential Diagnosis of Acute Pericarditis Article Sections. Acute pericarditis has many potential etiologies and typically presents as sharp central chest pain that worsens with recumbency and is relieved by leaning forward. The pathognomonic physical finding of acute pericarditis is the pericardial friction rub, which is usually auscultated along the lower left sternal border.

- A pericardial effusion can also result following heart surgery. In adults, pericarditis is much more frequently due to cancer, kidney failure and immunity problems, and can also follow a heart attack (Dressler's syndrome). Pericarditis can also be part of a more general inflammation of the heart muscle (myopericarditis or myocarditis).

Human Physiology/Print Version The onset of symptoms in myocardial infarction (MI) is usually gradual, over several minutes, and rarely instantaneous. Chest pain is the most common symptom of acute MI and is often described as a sensation of tightness, pressure, or squeezing. Chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood and hence oxygen supply) of the heart muscle is termed angina pectoris.

Pericardial Disorders The pericardium is a membrane, or sac, that surrounds your heart. It holds the heart in place and helps it work properly. Problems with the pericardium include. Pericarditis - an inflammation of the sac. It can be from a virus or other infection, a heart attack, heart surgery, other medical conditions, injuries, and certain medicines. Pericardial effusion - the buildup of fluid in the sac Cardiac tamponade - a serious problem in which buildup of fluid in the sac causes problems with the function of the heart
