  • Title: Pericardial effusion complicating acute myocardial infarction.
    Author: Beahrs MM, Dietzman RH, Edwards JE.
    Journal: Minn Med; 1989 Jan; 72(1):33-7. PubMed ID: 2915628.
    Abstract:
    The acute fibrinous pericarditis that complicates acute myocardial infarction is usually of no functional significance. Uncommonly, hemorrhagic effusion may compound this process. In the case reported here, the pericardial aspect of acute lateral myocardial infarction dominated the clinical picture, thus posing a diagnostic problem. This phase of the disease stimulates us to place it on record.
