Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In patients with acute inferior MI and right ventricular infarction, depressed LVEF is a marker for worse hemodynamic compromise and increased in-hospital mortality.
In patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction complicated by RVI, depressed LVEF is associated with greater hemodynamic compromise and higher in-hospital mortality. These findings may have clinical implications for supportive efforts in such cases.
