What is Dressler's syndrome ?  Dressler's syndrome is characterized by persistent pyrexia, pericarditis and pleurisy.  It was first described in 1956 when Dressier recognized that post-myocardial infarction chest pain is not caused by coronary artery insufficiency.  It usually occurs 2-3 weeks after myocardial infarction and is considered to be of autoimmune aetiology; it responds to NSAIDs.
