Dressler syndrome is a rare type of secondary pericarditis that occurs after the injury of the heart by a myocardial infarction (MI), chest trauma, or
heart surgery. The symptoms of Dressler syndrome usually present one to six weeks after the myocardial infarction with pleuritic chest pain, fever, dyspnoea, and ECG changes. It is estimated that only 0,1% of patients who have had acute myocardial infarction develop Dressler syndrome.
