Small comment: I'd just add some "plain English", like I added (please check to make sure I'm right):

"The pain is usually pleuritic (it hurts when one breathes in or coughs).
The pain is worse with laying down and is better with leaning forward, (this one is good and straightforward)
The pain may radiate to one or both trapezius ridges.="feels like it's moving from side to side"?
85 percent of patients have a friction rub. (not sure what this is)
"Peridarditis is unlikely to cause a dysrrhythmias in the absence of myocardial disease" = "You probably won't have a heart attack if you don't already have heart disease"?
