Rose's sign is a clinical sign in medicine that is indicative of pericarditis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the pericardium, the fibrous sac surrounding the heart. It is named after the British cardiologist, Sir James Mackenzie Rose, who first described it.
Description[edit]
Rose's sign is characterized by a triphasic pericardial rub heard on auscultation of the heart. This rub is best heard at the left sternal border with the patient leaning forward and holding their breath after expiration. The three components of the rub correspond to atrial systole, ventricular systole, and early ventricular diastole.
Clinical significance[edit]
The presence of Rose's sign is highly suggestive of pericarditis. However, it is not always present in patients with this condition. The absence of Rose's sign does not rule out pericarditis. Other clinical signs and symptoms, as well as further diagnostic tests, are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
