  • Title: PR-segment deviation as the initial electrocardiographic response in acute pericarditis.
    Author: Baljepally R, Spodick DH.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1998 Jun 15; 81(12):1505-6. PubMed ID: 9645908.
    Abstract:
    PR-segment deviations precede classic ST(J) deviations in acute pericarditis because the superficial myocarditis producing electrocardiographic changes is more encompassing in the thin atrial muscle. In patients with appropriate syndromes, PR-segment deviations should be recognized early after onset, as ST changes may be absent.
