Brouwer's Symptom

Brouwer's sign (also known as pericarditis diastolic or pericarditis) is a clinical sign that is used to diagnose pericarditis. This symptom was first described by the German physician Ludwig Brauer in 1865.

Brower's symptom manifests itself as pain in the region of the heart, which occurs during diastole (the period of relaxation of the heart muscle). This pain can be either acute or chronic, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, nausea and vomiting.

A number of other symptoms are used to diagnose pericarditis, including ECG changes, x-rays, and blood tests. However, Brauer's symptom may be one of the first signs that indicate the presence of pericarditis and require immediate medical intervention.

It is important to note that Brauer's symptom is not the only symptom of pericarditis, and for an accurate diagnosis of this disease it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient.

Brouwer's symptom is the appearance of sharp pallor of the skin over the heart area and at the base of the neck during systole in accordance with the pulse wave. Creates the impression of skin pulsation. It is most typical for patients with IE, but can also be observed with stenosis of the aortic mouth or with heart defects with the development
