Key result
Nitric oxide inhalation at 5-10 ppm significantly improved hemodynamics and allowed weaning from intra-aortic balloon pumping in a patient with severe right ventricular failure post-MI.

Does nitric oxide inhalation improve hemodynamics in a patient with severe right ventricular failure caused by myocardial infarction?
Nitric oxide inhalation may be a useful therapeutic option for managing severe right ventricular failure complicating acute myocardial infarction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Fujita et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Right ventricular failure caused by acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Nitric oxide inhalation was evaluated on Hemodynamic improvement. Nitric oxide inhalation at 5-10 ppm significantly improved hemodynamics and allowed weaning from intra-aortic balloon pumping in a patient with severe right ventricular failure post-MI.
