  Dressler syndrome, also known as postmyocardial infarction syndrome, is a form of secondary pericarditis with or without pericardial effusion that occurs as a result of injury to the heart or pericardium. Given its wide-ranging clinical presentation, Dressler syndrome can be difficult for health professionals to recognize. […] Though not a common condition, Dressler syndrome should be considered in all patients presenting with persistent malaise or fatigue following a myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac surgery, especially if symptoms present greater than two weeks following the event. […] Patients typically present with symptoms of Dressler syndrome 1 to 6 weeks following the initial damage to the pericardium. The most commonly encountered symptoms include fever, malaise/generalized weakness, pleuritic chest pain, irritability, decreased appetite, palpitations/tachycardia, dyspnea (with or without hypoxia), and arthralgias. […] Though most patients tend to present with a temperature between 100.4 F and 102.2 F (measured orally), occasional reports of temperatures as high as 104 F have been noted. Not all patients will appear concomitantly ill, and the fever generally will subside within 2 to 3 weeks.

  https://www.escardio.org/Journals/E-Journal-of-Cardiology-Practice/Volume-15/Post-cardiac-injury-syndrome-aetiology-diagnosis-and-treatment

  Post-myocardial infarction pericarditis can be differentiated into early infarct-associated pericarditis and late post-myocardial infarction pericarditis, also known as Dresslers syndrome. […] Dresslers syndrome, on the other hand, occurs two to eight weeks after infarction and is also very rare nowadays in clinical settings. […] Importantly, and in marked contrast to early infarct-associated pericarditis, Dresslers syndrome implies a relevant risk of recurrence. […] Recurrence of PCIS has been reported to be lower than recurrences of idiopathic pericarditis, ranging between 10% and 15%. In contrast to idiopathic pericarditis, however, the risk of pericardial constriction is substantial for PCIS, approximating 2.8% over 72 months. Therefore, affected patients need long-term follow-up.

• #1 Dressler syndrome – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressler_syndrome

  Dressler syndrome is a secondary form of pericarditis that occurs in the setting of injury to the heart or the pericardium (the outer lining of the heart). It consists of fever, pleuritic pain, pericarditis and/or pericardial effusion. […] The disease consists of persistent low-grade fever, chest pain (usually pleuritic), pericarditis (usually evidenced by a pericardial friction rub, chest pain worsening when recumbent, and diffuse ST elevation with PR segment depression), and/or pericardial effusion. The symptoms tend to occur 2-3 weeks after myocardial infarction but can also be delayed a few months. It tends to subside in a few days, and very rarely leads to pericardial tamponade. Elevated ESR is an objective but nonspecific laboratory finding.

  https://www.clinicianrevision.com/courses/cardiology/lessons/pericardial-disease/topic/dresslers-syndrome/

  Dresslers syndrome is a rare complication that can develop 2-10 weeks post-myocardial infarction or heart surgery. The condition is characterized by chest pain, fever, and an elevated white blood cell count. […] The most common symptom of Dresslers Syndrome is chest pain, which is usually located in the middle or left side of the chest. The pain is often described as a dull, aching pain, and it may be worse when the person is lying down. Other clinical features can include fever, an elevated white blood cell count and pericardial effusion (a build-up of fluid in the pericardium). […] Chest pain is usually sharp and well-localised, relieved by leaning forwards, radiates to the left shoulder, down the arm or into the abdomen, and is pleuritic. […] Signs include pericardial rub, fever, heart failure, pulsus paradoxus (10 mmHg drop in blood pressure on inspiration) in severe cases, and Kussmauls sign (rise of JVP on inspiration) in severe cases.

  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. […] 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. […] In our patient, no alternative cause was found, so both the pericardial and pleural effusions were caused by Dressler syndrome.

  The immune system reaction that causes Dressler syndrome might also lead to fluid buildup in the tissues surrounding your lungs (pleural effusion). […] Rarely, Dressler syndrome can cause more-serious complications, including cardiac tamponade. Inflammation of the pericardium can cause fluids to accumulate in the sac (pericardial effusion). The fluid can put pressure on the heart, forcing it to work harder and reducing its ability to pump blood efficiently. […] Constrictive pericarditis. Recurring or chronic inflammation can cause the pericardium to become thick or scarred. The scarring can reduce the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently.

  Finally, some patients with Dressler syndrome may exhibit signs of pneumonitis (e.g., a cough, decreased oxygen saturation, fever). The pulmonary component to symptoms ranges from minimal with no pulmonary complaints to significant respiratory distress with large pulmonic effusions. […] The prognosis for patients with Dressler syndrome is typically quite good. Even those patients requiring pericardial drainage usually have a favorable prognosis. Still, they have an increased risk for reaccumulation of fluid and subsequent need for repeat pericardiocentesis and adjustments to medication regimens. If constrictive pericarditis develops, the need for pericardial stripping may become evident. […] The most serious potential complication from Dressler syndrome is by far pericardial tamponade leading to a risk of complete cardiovascular collapse. There is often a pericardial effusion with Dressler syndrome, and this fluid build-up around the heart can lead to ineffective relaxation and filling of the atrioventricular system by causing direct pressure and therefore affecting both diastolic filling and systolic squeeze. Classic findings of tamponade include Beck’s triad: low blood pressure, distended neck veins (jugular venous distension), and muffled/distant heart tones.

Classic findings of tamponade include Beck’s triad: low blood pressure, distended neck veins (jugular venous distension), and muffled/distant heart tones.

  Dressler’s syndrome (also called post cardiac surgery or post cardiac injury syndrome). The pericarditis of Dressler’s syndrome can begin within a couple weeks or up to many months after open heart surgery, heart trauma or a heart attack. It is thought that with this syndrome, prior heart injury stimulates the immune system to attack and inflame the pericardium. […] The classic symptoms of acute pericarditis are chest pain and fever. This chest pain can be either brief and sharp or steady and constricting. It is usually under the breastbone, but it also can spread to the neck or shoulders. In many patients, chest pain becomes more severe if they take a deep breath, swallow, cough, or lie down. Sitting up or leaning forward may relieve the pain. […] Patients with cardiac tamponade can have low blood pressure and shortness of breath. Patients with constrictive pericarditis also can have breathing difficulties, together with edema (swelling) of the ankles, legs and abdomen. […] Most people with acute pericarditis recover within 2 to 4 weeks. Recurrence of acute pericarditis occurs in about 20 percent of the people who have unexplained pericarditis.

  Post-myocardial infarction pericarditis can be differentiated into early infarct-associated pericarditis and late post-myocardial infarction pericarditis, also known as Dresslers syndrome. […] Dresslers syndrome, on the other hand, occurs two to eight weeks after infarction and is also very rare nowadays in clinical settings. […] Importantly, and in marked contrast to early infarct-associated pericarditis, Dresslers syndrome implies a relevant risk of recurrence. […] Recurrence of PCIS has been reported to be lower than recurrences of idiopathic pericarditis, ranging between 10% and 15%. In contrast to idiopathic pericarditis, however, the risk of pericardial constriction is substantial for PCIS, approximating 2.8% over 72 months. Therefore, affected patients need long-term follow-up.

  Chronic cardiac inflammation can also result in constrictive pericarditis. This occurs when the pericardium thickens or scars due to chronic inflammation. […] Complications from Dressler’s syndrome might be fatal in rare cases. As a result, it is critical to seek immediate diagnosis and treatment. […] Constrictive pericarditis is a disorder in which the pericardium stiffens and thickens. This affects your heart’s ability to pump blood and can cause serious problems, including heart failure. […] Cardiac Tamponade occurs when the fluid sac surrounding your heart becomes overfilled with blood or other fluid, putting pressure on your heart. This stops your heart’s chambers from filling adequately.

  The outlook for patients with Dressler syndrome is usually very positive. Even those who need a procedure to drain fluid from the heart lining typically have a good recovery rate. However, there’s an increased chance that the fluid will build up again, possibly leading to another draining procedure and changes to their medication plans. If a condition called constrictive pericarditis develops, which causes the heart lining to become stiff and thickened, they might need a procedure to remove this lining.

  Dressler syndrome (DS) occurs as a result of injury to the heart or pericardium, usually 1 to 6 weeks after a myocardial infarction. […] Clinical DS symptoms are fever, pleuritic chest pain, and fluid in pericardial and/or pleural space (pericardial rub and murmurs may be heard). […] DS can be diagnosed if two of the five diagnostic criteria are present (fever without other alternative causes, pericardial or pleural pain, pericardial or pleural effusion, fluid in pericardium or pleura, and/or increased C-reactive protein). […] DS has favorable prognosis if diagnosed in time, but there is a possibility of recurrence of the syndrome (colchicine is an approved medication for prevention).

  The prognosis for individuals with Dresslers syndrome largely depends on several factors: Early intervention significantly improves outcomes; many individuals respond well to treatment within weeks. The presence of additional underlying cardiac conditions can complicate recovery but does not necessarily preclude positive outcomes. Long-term follow-up care is essential for monitoring any ongoing health issues related to cardiovascular function or overall well-being. Most patients experience relief from symptoms with appropriate treatment; however, some may have recurrent episodes requiring continued management.

  Dressler syndrome is a type of pericarditis, which is the inflammation of the sac around the heart (pericardium). […] If left untreated, inflammation of the pericardium can lead to scarring, thickening, and muscle tightening of the heart, which can be life-threatening. […] Various symptoms are associated with the syndrome. They may include fatigue, weakness, fever, chest pain (worse with breathing or lying down, can be felt in the chest, upper back or left shoulder, can be made worse by activity), difficult or labored breathing (dyspnea). It may be more difficult to breathe when reclining or lying down, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) or heart palpitations, pericardial effusion (fluid buildup between pericardium and the heart itself). […] Rarely, symptoms can be life-threatening, so it is important to seek medical attention and treatment if you experience chest pain and have trouble breathing, especially if you have had a recent admission for heart attack (myocardial infarction), heart surgery, heart procedure, or chest trauma due to an accident or injury.

• #3 Dressler syndrome – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressler_syndrome

  Dressler syndrome is a secondary form of pericarditis that occurs in the setting of injury to the heart or the pericardium (the outer lining of the heart). It consists of fever, pleuritic pain, pericarditis and/or pericardial effusion. […] The disease consists of persistent low-grade fever, chest pain (usually pleuritic), pericarditis (usually evidenced by a pericardial friction rub, chest pain worsening when recumbent, and diffuse ST elevation with PR segment depression), and/or pericardial effusion. The symptoms tend to occur 2-3 weeks after myocardial infarction but can also be delayed a few months. It tends to subside in a few days, and very rarely leads to pericardial tamponade. Elevated ESR is an objective but nonspecific laboratory finding.

  We present a case of a 55-year-old female with a successfully reperfused myocardial infarction in whom Dresslers syndrome was subsequently diagnosed. […] Dresslers, or post-cardiac injury, syndrome is a well-recognised complication of myocardial infarction; however, following the introduction of thrombolysis and cardiac catheterisation its continued existence in the era of reperfusion has been questioned. […] This demonstrates that despite the advances in medical care Dresslers syndrome continues to exist and should be considered in the differential of anyone presenting with chest pain in the setting of a recent myocardial infarction. […] One week following her discharge, she returned to the ER complaining of sharp non-exertional chest pain and dyspnoea persisting for one day. […] She was noted to have bilateral inspiratory rales and was hypoxic on room air.
