[1] The pain is typically less severe when sitting up and more severe when lying down or breathing deeply. [1]
Pericarditis refers to inflammation of the thin sac surrounding the heart. The most common symptom is sharp chest pain, which is felt in the middle or left side of the chest or sometimes in the ...

Cardiac inflammation: idiopathic pericarditis is the most common inflammatory cause of pericardial effusion in the United States. [8] [9] Autoimmune: lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, [10] Sjögren syndrome, scleroderma, Dressler's syndrome, sarcoidosis; Drug hypersensitivity/ side effects: Chemotherapy drugs (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide ...
Fibrinous pericarditis is an exudative inflammation. The pericardium is infiltrated by the fibrinous exudate. This consists of fibrin strands and leukocytes. Fibrin describes an amorphous, eosinophilic (pink) network. Leukocytes (white blood cells; mainly neutrophils) are found within the fibrin deposits and intrapericardic. Vascular congestion ...

Days 1-3 are marked by “acute inflammation”, in which neutrophils infiltrate the ischemic tissue.
