RVI in AMI signals high mortality risk warranting vigilance; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve outcomes.
Does right ventricular involvement increase mortality and morbidity in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Right ventricular involvement in acute myocardial infarction is associated with a 2.59-fold increase in mortality and significantly higher rates of cardiogenic shock, arrhythmias, and mechanical complications.
