Abstract

Background: Right ventricular (RV) involvement in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has scarcely been studied in contemporary cardiology practice. Objective: To evaluate the clinical, angiographic, procedural characteristics and outcomes of patients with STEMI and RV involvement undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods: This prospective cohort included consecutive patients with STEMI presenting within 12 hours of symptom onset and undergoing pPCI between 2009 and 2023 at a high-volume tertiary cardiology center in Brazil. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of ...
