PR-segment deviation as the initial electrocardiographic response in acute pericarditis

The American Journal of Cardiology
R Baljepally, D H Spodick

Abstract

PR-segment deviations precede classic ST(J) deviations in acute pericarditis because the superficial myocarditis producing electrocardiographic changes is more encompassing in the thin atrial muscle. In patients with appropriate syndromes, PR-segment deviations should be recognized early after onset, as ST changes may be absent.
