Right ventricular myocardial infarction

Abstract

Right ventricular myocardial infarction is a more common condition than is commonly believed. In the vast majority of cases, it is combined with myocardial infarction of the posterior wall of the left ventricle. However, right ventricular infarction often remains undiagnosed. At the same time, patients with a combination of myocardial infarction of the posterior wall of the left ventricle and the right ventricle have a more unfavorable prognostic course of the disease and require some adjustment of diagnostic and treatment strategies. This article is devoted to the clinical analysis of a case of right ventricular myocardial infarction.
