The most common cause of<unk>  is a recent<unk>  infarction, with the<unk>  typically occurring three to five days after infarction. Other causes of<unk>  include cardiac trauma, endocarditis (infection of the heart), cardiac tumors, infiltrative diseases of the heart, and aortic dissection. Risk factors for<unk>  after an acute<unk>  infarction include female gender, advanced age of the individual, first ischemic event, and a low body mass index. Other presenting signs associated with<unk>  include a pericardial friction rub, sluggish flow in the coronary artery after it is opened i.e. revascularized with an angioplasty, the left anterior descending artery being often the cause of the acute MI, and delay of revascularization greater than 2 hours.
