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.
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.
