  Dressler syndrome, also known as post-myocardial infarction syndrome, is a type of pericarditis—a condition characterized by inflammation of the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. It typically occurs after a heart attack (myocardial infarction), heart surgery, or traumatic injury to the heart. First described by William Dressler in 1956, this syndrome remains an important consideration in the care of patients recovering from cardiac events.

  Dressler syndrome (DS) is a delayed immune-mediated or secondary pericarditis developing weeks to months after a myocardial infarction (MI). […] Patients typically present from one week to a few months after large myocardial infarction. […] Typical symptoms include: pleuritic chest pain, fever, general malaise. […] Typical signs comprise: leukocytosis and raised inflammatory markers, pericardial friction rub (murmurs by auscultation). […] It is common for pericardial effusion to develop but tamponade is rare. […] The clinical course is most often benign. Conservative management includes NSAIDs and colchicine. However, tamponade and free wall rupture may occur, necessitating urgent surgery. Constrictive pericarditis may be a rarely associated complication. Pericardiocentesis with fibrin-glue instillation may be tried.

  Dressler syndrome, also known as post-myocardial infarction syndrome, is a type of pericarditis a condition characterized by inflammation of the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. […] This syndrome remains an important consideration in the care of patients recovering from cardiac events. […] Treatment of Dressler syndrome focuses on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms. Common treatments include: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Such as ibuprofen or aspirin, to reduce pain and inflammation. […] With appropriate treatment, most patients with Dressler syndrome experience relief from symptoms and a good prognosis. However, ongoing follow-up is essential to monitor for potential complications, such as recurrent pericarditis or pericardial effusion. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider and adherence to prescribed treatments are crucial for managing the condition effectively.

  Dr. William Dressler’s initial descriptions of „The Post Myocardial Infarction (MI) Syndrome” in the late 1950s catalogue a prolonged illness characterized by waxing and waning pleuritic chest pain, fevers, and an evanescent friction rub in the weeks following presentation with MI.1 The pathophysiology of Dressler syndrome was later elucidated to be autoimmune in nature, driven by an adaptive immune response against cardiac antigens released into the bloodstream during myocardial injury.2 Dressler syndrome is distinct from acute post-infarct pericarditis in its timing; while the former is delayed by weeks after presentation with infarct, the latter occurs within hours to days of MI.3,4 The pathophysiology of acute post-infarct pericarditis is less well-defined compared with that of Dressler syndrome.

  Dressler syndrome is an inflammatory condition (pericarditis) that affects the sac that surrounds the heart (pericarditis). […] It is thought to be an immune system reaction (i.e. antigen-antibody response) against the pericardium layer of the heart. Events such as a heart attack, surgery, or acute injury can cause such damage. […] Dressler syndrome is thought to be triggered by the immune system’s reaction to cardiac injury. […] In response to the wounded tissue, the body sends immune cells and proteins (antibodies) to clean up and mend the region. […] The pericardium can become inflamed as a result of the immune response. […] Dressler syndrome treatment focuses on pain management and inflammation reduction. Medication and, if issues arise, surgery may be used to treat the condition. […] Corticosteroids can have major adverse effects and may prevent injured heart tissue from recovering after a heart attack or surgery. Therefore are not the drug of choice for treating Dressler’s syndrome.

  Diagnosis of Dressler syndrome starts with a physical exam from your healthcare professional. The goals of treatment for Dressler syndrome are to manage pain and lower the inflammation. Treatment may involve medicines. Surgery may be needed if complications happen. The main treatment for Dressler syndrome is medicine to lower inflammation, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as: Aspirin. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others). Colchicine (Colcrys, Gloperba, others). If Dressler syndrome happens after a heart attack, usually aspirin is preferred over other NSAIDs. Indomethacin also may be given. If those medicines don’t help, the next step might be corticosteroids. These can lower inflammation linked with Dressler syndrome by turning down the immune system. Corticosteroids can have serious side effects. And they might interfere with the healing of damaged heart tissue after a heart attack or surgery. For those reasons, corticosteroids tend to be used only when other treatments don’t work. Other treatments may be needed to treat complications of Dressler syndrome. These include: Draining excess fluids. For cardiac tamponade, the excess fluid can be removed with a needle or a small tube called a catheter. This treatment is called pericardiocentesis. It’s usually done using medicine called a local anesthetic that numbs a specific part of the body. Removing the pericardium. For constrictive pericarditis, treatment might involve surgery to remove the pericardium. The surgery is called pericardiectomy. […] If you’re being seen in the emergency room for chest pain, you might be asked: What medicines do you take?

  This case illustrates a typical presentation of Dressler syndrome. Though it is rare, Dressler syndrome is important for the clinician to recognize. This patient’s presentation with enlarging pericardial and pleural effusions 2 weeks after suffering a STEMI is typical for Dressler syndrome. Indeed, Dr. Dressler’s initial descriptions included patients who developed pleural effusions. The pleural space can be involved in up to 80% of patients with delayed post-infarct pericarditis; typically, these effusions are left-sided, exudative by Light’s criteria, and serosanguineous or hemorrhagic in nature.5,6 Clinicians must be careful to rule out alternative causes of pleural effusions, including infections and hemorrhagic complications of procedures such as pericardiocentesis. In our patient, no alternative cause was found, so both the pericardial and pleural effusions were caused by Dressler syndrome.

Colchicine (Colcrys, Gloperba, others). If Dressler syndrome happens after a heart attack, usually aspirin is preferred over other NSAIDs. Indomethacin also may be given. If those medicines don’t help, the next step might be corticosteroids. These can lower inflammation linked with Dressler syndrome by turning down the immune system. Corticosteroids can have serious side effects. And they might interfere with the healing of damaged heart tissue after a heart attack or surgery. For those reasons, corticosteroids tend to be used only when other treatments don’t work. Other treatments may be needed to treat complications of Dressler syndrome. These include: Draining excess fluids. For cardiac tamponade, the excess fluid can be removed with a needle or a small tube called a catheter. This treatment is called pericardiocentesis. It’s usually done using medicine called a local anesthetic that numbs a specific part of the body. Removing the pericardium. For constrictive pericarditis, treatment might involve surgery to remove the pericardium. The surgery is called pericardiectomy. […] If you’re being seen in the emergency room for chest pain, you might be asked: What medicines do you take?

  Most patients with suspected Dressler syndrome are treated in an outpatient setting with close follow-up unless the patient is hemodynamically unstable. The approach typically involves NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) tapered over 4 to 6 weeks as the accumulated pericardial fluid diminishes. Patients who do not respond to NSAID therapy may be given a course of corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone) tapered over a 4-week period. […] More severe cases of Dressler syndrome may require pericardial drainage by the cardiac surgeon or cardiologist. […] The outlook for most patients with Dressler syndrome is excellent. However, the recovery may take 2 to 4 weeks. […] In those patients being discharged, all should be made aware of the need to return for an evaluation immediately if signs of Dressler syndrome develop, including signs of progression of effusion and signs of developing infection (i.e., increased shortness of breath, increased pain, palpitations, dizziness/lightheadedness, fevers, altered mentation, and syncope). Cardiology follow-up should be arranged by the referring physician. […] The diagnosis of Dressler syndrome is not easy and can be confused with many other cardiac disorders. Hence, it is best managed with an interprofessional team that includes a cardiac nurse, emergency department physician, cardiologist, radiologist, and intensivist.

  This case illustrates a typical presentation of Dressler syndrome. Though it is rare, Dressler syndrome is important for the clinician to recognize. This patient’s presentation with enlarging pericardial and pleural effusions 2 weeks after suffering a STEMI is typical for Dressler syndrome. Indeed, Dr. Dressler’s initial descriptions included patients who developed pleural effusions. The pleural space can be involved in up to 80% of patients with delayed post-infarct pericarditis; typically, these effusions are left-sided, exudative by Light’s criteria, and serosanguineous or hemorrhagic in nature.5,6 Clinicians must be careful to rule out alternative causes of pleural effusions, including infections and hemorrhagic complications of procedures such as pericardiocentesis. In our patient, no alternative cause was found, so both the pericardial and pleural effusions were caused by Dressler syndrome.

  Typical treatment involves colchicine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In cases of pericarditis related to coronary pathology, high-dose aspirin is generally favored over ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. Additional agents for pericarditis, including corticosteroids and biologic agents such as anakinra and rilonacept, have not been studied in post-infarct pericarditis or Dressler syndrome.
