Dressler syndrome (DS), also known as postmyocardial infarction syndrome, is a form of secondary pericarditis with or without a pericardial effusion, that occurs as a result of injury to the heart or pericardium [1]. Though not a common condition, DS should be considered in all patients presenting with persistent malaise or fatigue, following a myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac surgery, especially if symptoms present greater than two weeks following the event [2].
