Pericarditis can be seen on EKG with diffuse ST elevations without reciprocal changes along with diffuse PR depressions.  It often follows a URI. First line treatment for pericarditis is high dose ibuprofen.  Alternatively, high dose aspirin or indomethacin may be used.  Colchicine may be used in refractory cases or for prophylaxis.
