ECG pattern compatible with pericarditis
MSP221 recording · 08
Clinical history not documented in this image source.
Original waveform retained; quiz cropping only removes off-tracing interpretation or a row containing an answer label. Some sources are rhythm strips rather than a full 12-lead ECG.
Look for
- ST elevation in multiple territories.
- Reciprocal ST depression in aVR.
Where to look. Compare ST segments across territories and aVR: elevation is widespread.
The source describes pericarditis with widespread ST elevation and reciprocal depression in aVR. PR depression is not required on this image; diagnosis also depends on clinical context.
The source diagnosis is retained; no additional clinical cause is inferred.
