Key result
RCA revascularization linked to improved RV systolic and diastolic function, including TAPSE and RVFAC.
Why the study?
RV dysfunction strongly predicts mortality and morbidity after acute MI, but there has been a lack of information regarding the effect of PCI on RV function.
Does percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary artery improve right ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction?
Comparison
Echocardiographic parameters before vs after PCI

Supports RV recovery after RCA PCI in inferior MI; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm benefit.

Does percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary artery improve right ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction?
RCA revascularization by PCI in patients with acute inferior wall MI significantly improves echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular systolic and diastolic function.
Kiran et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI) (n=59). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the right coronary artery vs. Pre-PCI baseline was evaluated on Echocardiographic right ventricular systolic and diastolic functions. Right coronary artery revascularization significantly improved right ventricular systolic and diastolic functions, including TAPSE (37.29% vs. 81.82%) and RVFAC (33.90% vs. 90.00%).
