Key result
Right ventricular global longitudinal strain at a cutoff of -16.75 predicted right ventricular involvement in patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction with 97.0% sensitivity and 68.7% specificity.
Why the study?
RV involvement in IWMI strongly predicts in-hospital mortality and complications, but assessing RV involvement and function remains challenging due to difficult chamber visualization.

Biswas et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Acute Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction (n=210). Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) vs. Conventional echocardiographic parameters and ECG was evaluated on Prediction of right ventricular involvement compared to ECG (AUC 0.844, 95% CI 0.771-0.918, p=<0.001). Right ventricular global longitudinal strain at a cutoff of -16.75 predicted right ventricular involvement in patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction with 97.0% sensitivity and 68.7% specificity.
