Why the study?
Does the pulmonary artery pulsatility index identify severe right ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction?
Does the pulmonary artery pulsatility index identify severe right ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction?
PAPi is a useful invasive hemodynamic marker for identifying severe right ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction.
Supports PAPi for risk stratification in acute IWMI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
The PAPi is a simple, invasive hemodynamic measure that may help identify high-risk patients with acute IWMI with severe RVD. Earlier identification of this high-risk population may improve clinical outcomes.
