Regional Pericarditis Mimicking Inferior Myocardial Infarction following Abdominal Surgery

<table>Initial electrocardiogram, showing inferior ST-segment elevations in II, III, and aVF with reciprocal ST-segment depressions in the anterior leads (V1–V4). Arrowheads show PR depression in the inferior leads, with corresponding PR elevation in aVR. Arrows show the downsloping ECG baseline from one QRS complex to the following PR-segment (Spodick’s sign) in the inferior leads, with corresponding upsloping ST-segment depression in the anterior leads (“reverse” Spodick’s sign).</table>
