Dressler Syndrome
Dressler syndrome is an inflammation of the pericardium -the membrane that surrounds the heart- that can appear weeks after damage to the heart muscle, such as a heart attack or heart surgery, due to a response of the immune system.
Common symptoms: It usually presents with chest pain that changes with breathing or posture, fever, and a general feeling of malaise or fatigue.
When to see a doctor? Persistent chest pain, especially after a recent cardiac event, always warrants a review; it is never advisable to wait to have a professional assess it.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition, and when it is related to surgery, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon may also take part.
