Figure 1 (A) Maximum QRS amplitude in the limb leads in group A patients, who where treated with pericardiocentesis. AP = immediately after pericardiocentesis; BP = before pericardiocentesis; d3 = three days after pericardiocentesis; d6 = six days after pericardiocentesis. (B) Maximum QRS amplitude in the limb leads in group B patients, who were treated with anti-inflammatory medication. BT = before anti-inflammatory treatment; d6 = six days after initiation of anti-inflammatory medication. (C) Maximum QRS amplitude in the limb leads in group C patients (pericarditis). d0 = baseline measurement; d7 = after a seven-day follow-up.
