Post-myocardial infarction pericarditis: insight from a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study

Post-myocardial infarction pericarditis (PMIP) is a recognized complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with potential implications for cardiac function as a marker of more extensive myocardial damage [1]. PMIP can be classified into two distinct forms: early (epistenocardic) pericarditis, which develops within days of infarction due to local inflammatory responses, and late pericarditis (Dressler’s syndrome), which occurs as an autoimmune reaction [2].
