Background: Right ventricular (RV) function is increasingly being recognised as an important factor influencing outcomes in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). In this study, we investigated RV echocardiographic parameters' association with 28-day mortality in patients admitted to intensive care with STEMI complicated by CS with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF). Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) in a single tertiary cardiac centre over a 34-month period with STEMI complicated by CS and LVEF < 40%. Clinical and echocardiographic data were collected and correlated with 28-day mortality. Conclusion: RV function is associated 28-day mortality in patients admitted to ICU with STEMI complicated by CS with reduced LVEF. RV S' predicted mortality with good sensitivity and specificity.

Lashin et al. (2021) conducted an observational in STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock. Right ventricular function (RV S') was evaluated on 28-day mortality (p=0.02). Right ventricular function (RV S') predicted 28-day mortality with good sensitivity and specificity in patients with STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock and reduced LVEF (P=0.02).
