Management of Post–Myocardial Infarction Right Ventricular Failure

2022, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Previous studies examining the prognostic impact of RVMI on patients with acute inferior MI just involved a small number of patients with very few outcome events. Of importance, these patients were mostly treated by thrombolysis therapy [3,5,14]. With recent development in reperfusion strategy, especially primary PCI, it is unclear whether the prognosis of inferior STEMI patients with RVMI has changed.

2018, Cardiovascular Revascularization MedicineCitation Excerpt :The effectiveness of reperfusion in patients with RVI and infero-posterior MI has been less impressive than in patients with anterior wall MI [35]. Some studies suggest that RV function recovers only after successful reperfusion [68–70] whereas others report improvement even in the absence of a patent infarct-related vessel [71,72]. Study by Zehender et al. [73] found that both mortality and major in-hospital complications were lower in patients who received thrombolytics than in those who did not.
