[[w:Pericarditis|Pericarditis]] is an inflammation of the pericardium. This can lead to ST elevation in all leads. Therefore, it is important to distinguish pericarditis from a [[myocardial infarction]], which has more acute complaints and ST-elevations are limited to the infarct area. | [[w:Pericarditis|Pericarditis]] is an inflammation of the pericardium.
