What is the sequence of ECG changes over the course of pericarditis? How many components would you expect to hear in a pericardial friction rub? Is post-MI pericarditis the same thing as Dressler's syndrome? What medications should be avoided? Can athletes who develop pericarditis play in competitive sports?
