Of course this depends on many factors: 1) duration of occlusion, 2) whether full or near occlusion with zero flow or some flow -- the flow in the artery is the critical factor, measured by "TIMI" flow, 3) presence of collateral circulation and others. Pericarditis would be even more unlikely in someone without chest pain.

When there is MI extending all the way to the epicardium (transmural), that infarcted epicardium is often inflamed (postinfarction regional pericarditis, or PIRP). What complication is the patient with post-infarction regional pericarditis at risk for? Circulation 1993;88(3):896-904. No resolution of ST elevation. Lessons : 1.

Recall from this post referencing this study that "reciprocal STD in aVL is highly sensitive for inferior OMI (far better than STEMI criteria) and excludes pericarditis, but is not specific for OMI." Her contrast enhanced echocardiogram is shown below in the parasternal short axis view. Circulation , 130 (25). link] Bischof, J.
