Why the study?
What is the haemodynamic response to inotropes and vasodilators in patients with cardiogenic shock after right ventricular infarction?
What is the haemodynamic response to inotropes and vasodilators in patients with cardiogenic shock after right ventricular infarction?
The shock associated with right ventricular infarction is likely driven by concomitant severe left ventricular dysfunction, as haemodynamic improvement with inotropes and vasodilators is driven by increased left ventricular stroke work without changes in right ventricular stroke work.

Hypothesis-generating for LV dysfunction as shock driver in RV infarction; larger studies needed before practice change.
Creamer et al. (1991) studied this question.
