Key result
Right ventricular infarction occurs in ~39% of inferior MIs and links to more clinical complications.
Why the study?
Right ventricular infarction occurs frequently with inferior myocardial infarction and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, prompting evaluation of its prevalence and related characteristics.
Cross-Sectional (n=150)
No
Right ventricular infarction is highly prevalent (39.3%) among patients presenting with inferior wall myocardial infarction.
May warrant RV monitoring in inferior MI; leaves open prognostic impact in observational data.

A.M. Abd El Aziz (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Inferior wall myocardial infarction (n=150). Right ventricular infarction (exposure) vs. Inferior wall myocardial infarction without right ventricular infarction was evaluated on Prevalence of right ventricular infarction. Right ventricular infarction was identified in 39.3% of patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction and was associated with significantly more clinical complications.
