Pericarditis: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Acute pericarditis typically produces a sharp and often sudden pain that usually starts over the sternum and radiates to the neck, shoulders, back, and arms. However, unlike the pain of MI, pericardial pain is often pleuritic, increasing with deep inspiration and decreasing when the patient sits up and leans forward, pulling the heart away from the diaphragmatic pleurae of the lungs.

Pericardial effusion, the major complication of acute pericarditis, may produce effects of heart failure (such as dyspnea, orthopnea, and tachycardia), ill-defined substernal chest pain, and a feeling of fullness in the chest. (See Patterns of cardiac pain.)

Alert  If the fluid accumulates rapidly, cardiac tamponade may occur, resulting in pallor, clammy skin, hypotension, pulsus paradoxus (a decrease in systolic blood pressure of 15 mm Hg or more during slow inspiration), jugular vein distention and, eventually, cardiovascular collapse and death.

Chronic constrictive pericarditis causes a gradual increase in systemic venous pressure and produces symptoms similar to those of chronic right-sided heart failure (fluid retention, ascites, and hepatomegaly).

Pericarditis: Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)

Clinical features vary in the acute and chronic forms.

Acute pericarditis

In acute pericarditis, a sharp and commonly sudden pain usually starts over the sternum and radiates to the neck, shoulders, back, and arms. However, unlike the pain of an MI, pericardial pain is often pleuritic, increasing with deep inspiration and decreasing when the patient sits up and leans forward, pulling the heart away from the diaphragmatic pleurae of the lungs.

Pericardial effusion, the major complication of acute pericarditis, may produce the effects of heart failure — such as dyspnea, orthopnea, and tachycardia — as well as ill-defined substernal chest pain and a feeling of fullness in the chest.

If the fluid accumulates rapidly, cardiac tamponade may occur, resulting in pallor, clammy skin, hypotension, paradoxical pulse (a decrease in systolic blood pressure equal to or greater than 10 mm Hg during slow inspiration), jugular vein distention and, eventually, cardiovascular collapse and death.

Chronic pericarditis

Chronic constrictive pericarditis causes a gradual increase in systemic venous pressure and produces symptoms similar to those of chronic right-sided heart failure (fluid retention, ascites, hepatomegaly).
