Does right ventricular dysfunction predict long-term mortality in STEMI patients presenting with cardiogenic shock on admission and treated with primary PCI?
Right ventricular dysfunction assessed by echocardiography independently predicts long-term mortality in STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing primary PCI.
In STEMI patients presenting with CS on admission and treated with primary PCI, RV dysfunction as assessed by echocardiography is an independent predictor for long-term mortality.
Engström et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
