Why the study?
Does severe right ventricular dysfunction with hemodynamic impairment increase mortality in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction and RV involvement?
Population
99 consecutive patients with right ventricular involvement during acute inferior myocardial infarction
Comparison
Severe arterial hypotension due to RV dysfunction vs No hemodynamic impairment due to RV involvement
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
12 months

RV hemodynamic impairment flags higher-risk inferior MI patients for closer surveillance; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve survival.
Does severe right ventricular dysfunction with hemodynamic impairment increase mortality in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction and RV involvement?
Severe right ventricular dysfunction causing hemodynamic impairment in acute inferior myocardial infarction is associated with significantly higher short- and long-term mortality.
