Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different infarction sites on right ventricular function by echocardiography in patients with acute STEMI and correlate it with in-hospital morbidity and mortality.
Does the site of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction affect right ventricular function and in-hospital outcomes?
Does the site of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction affect right ventricular function and in-hospital outcomes?
Right ventricular dysfunction is common across different sites of acute STEMI, including anterior wall MI, and is associated with increased cardiovascular complications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
RV function by STEMI site may aid in-hospital risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Gupta et al. (2022) studied this question.
