"post-myocardial infarction (Dressler syndrome)"

Line 24:8 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-myocardial'.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"Conversely, a thin, smooth, but highly non-compliant pericardium may also be present. The haemodynamic consequences of constriction arise from the pericardium insulating the cardiac chambers from changes in intra-thoracic pressure, although lesser degrees of constriction may occur. ⁹"

Line 53:211 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'intra-thoracic'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Although a thickened pericardium is often present, transthoracic insonation rarely allows satisfactory visualisation; the presence of a pleural or pericardial effusion may provide an adequate window, although the latter may further obscure landmarks if sufficiently exudative."

Line 52:120 · Use semicolons judiciously.
