Right ventricular ischemic involvement during acute coronary syndromes is typically recognized associated with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation in the inferior left ventricular wall. In contrast, isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction is a rare entity that mimics anterior myocardial infarction of the left ventricle, both clinically and in the electrocardiographic presentation. We report two cases of isolated right ventricle acute myocardial infarction simulating anterior wall myocardial infarction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
