Why the study?
To compare in-hospital outcomes between left ventricular myocardial infarction patients with and without right ventricular myocardial infarction.
Does concurrent right ventricular myocardial infarction worsen in-hospital outcomes in patients with left ventricular myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI?
Does concurrent right ventricular myocardial infarction worsen in-hospital outcomes in patients with left ventricular myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI?
Concurrent right ventricular myocardial infarction in patients with left ventricular myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI is associated with significantly higher odds of in-hospital mortality and acute heart failure.

RVMI may identify higher-risk STEMI patients; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve outcomes.
