Incidence, Risk Factors, and Clinical Profile of Right Wall Myocardial Infarction with Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction at a Single Tertiary Care Centre
Abstract:INTRODUCTION: Right ventricular myocardial infarction can lead to diminished right sided stroke volume with concomitant right ventricular dilatation and septal changes. The potential hemodynamic derangement associated with right ventricular infarction renders the patients unusually sensitive to diminished ventricular preload. These two circumstances can result in a severe decrease in right and, secondarily, left ventricular output resulting in a clinical triad of hypotension and jugular venous pressure distens… Show more
