There are other tests also for tuberculous pericarditis, but they not as sure as growing the bacterium in culture. In addition to cancer and tuberculosis, any other cause of pericarditis can also cause pericardial effusion. Pericarditis is the inflammation of the outer covering of the heart.

That occurs in right heart failure and constrictive pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis is an important cause for Kussmaul sign or inspiratory increase in jugular venous pressure. On the other hand, the Y descent is very prominent in constrictive pericarditis, and it is known as Friedreich’s sign.

They include myocardial ischemia, acute pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, external compression due to mass over the right ventricular outflow tract region, and metabolic disorders like hyper or hypokalemia and hypercalcemia. These are the conditions which have to be considered or excluded as they can sometimes manifest Brugada pattern on ECG.

PR segment elevation and depression can occur in atrial infarction and pericarditis. When there is ST depression, even 0.5 mm is enough, to consider abormal ST. That is usually with angina and ventricular strain patterns. Those are the two conditions in which PR segment can be abnormal.
