Key result
Right ventricular infarction complicates ~16% of STEMI cases, most frequently co-existing with inferior MI.
Why the study?
To evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, and angiographic features of right ventricular infarction, as well as its complications and therapeutic approaches.
Observational (n=82)
No
Right ventricular infarction occurs in approximately 16% of STEMI patients, most commonly as an extension of inferior MI, and has a low mortality rate when managed with prompt revascularization.

Early intervention may be considered in RVI-STEMI; retrospective data leaves open need for prospective RCTs.
Bouhaddoune et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Right ventricular infarction in STEMI (n=82). Right ventricular infarction was evaluated on Mortality. Right ventricular infarction complicated 16.4% of STEMI cases, most frequently co-existing with inferior MI (62.2%), and was associated with a mortality rate of 2.4%.
