<h2>Inflammation of the pericardial sac is the process that would have occurred within the pericardium.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Post myocardial infarction (MI), pericardial inflammation or early pericarditis is a complication that usually occurs within the first 24-96 hour time period.
  • The high-pitched, scratchy, scraping sound heard with an increase in exhalation when the client leans forward is due to the increased pericardial frictional rub of the inflamed pericardial layers in the pericardial sac.
  • These heart sounds are typical of pericarditis and can be best heard during inspiration as well as forced expiration with the patient in the forward-leaning position.
