Considerations in Dressler Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dressler Syndrome, also known as post-myocardial infarction syndrome, is a rare but potentially serious complication that occurs following myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery. It is characterized by pericarditis, pleuritis, and fever, typically presenting weeks to months after the initial event. This article provides a comprehensive review of Dressler Syndrome, including its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. Additionally, it discusses the importance of early recognition and appropriate treatment to prevent complications and improve outcomes.
