Abstract

Presence of right ventricular infarction imposes a higher risk of adverse events in inferior wall myocardial infarction. Presence of right ventricular myocardial infarction imposes an increased risk of shock, arrhythmia and death in inferior wall myocardial infarction. In this study, we attempted to correlate various indices of right ventricular function assessed by echocardiography with presence of a proximal right coronary artery stenosis  in patients with acute inferior  wall myocardial infarction. A case-control study performed on thirty patients with inferior myocardial infarction and twenty control are enrolled in the study.
