MI versus acute pericarditis: EKG changes

on 5.9.08 with 0 comments




  • ST elevation in both; however, in acute pericarditis, it is concave and diffuse

  • reciprocal changes: in MI, there are T wave inversions in leads opposite the ones that show T wave elevations

  • in MI, ST elevation and T wave changes can occur simultaneously; in acute pericarditis, they do not occur simultaneously
