SUMMARY. In this prospective study 100 patients with Q wave myocardial infarction were examined for
evidence for pericarditis, and followed during their hospital stay. Forty-seven of patients 47% developed
pericarditis diagnosed on the basis of the presence of one or two or all the followings pericardial pain,
friction rub and pericardial effusion by echocardiography. All patients with pericarditis developed fever
more than 37.2 °C, 6-24 h prior to the development of pericardial pain or pericardial rub. Fifteen patients 28.3% out of the remaining 53 infarction patients with myocardial infarction who did not develop
pericarditis had fever more than 37.2 °C. There is significant association between pericarditis in acute
myocardial infraction and fever (p = 0.005). Twenty seven patients with pericarditis showed significant
pain relief with aspirin 600 mg three times daily for three days period, in comparison to 20 patients with
pericarditis who showed persistence of pain treatment.
