2016

IntroductionRight ventricular (RV) infarction is a serious and life threatening condition which mainly complicates an inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI). In the literature, data for predictive factors of mortality in this setting remains scarce.Aim to study predictive factors of intrahospital mortality in patients with RV infarction.Methods and resultsData was collected from a monocenter registry including all patients with AMI admitted in our department between January 1995 and March 2013. 1483 patients were enrolled in our registry. RV infarction was diagnosed in 160 (10.7%) patients, always complicating an inferior wall MI. 37 (23.1%) patients presented with right sided heart failu…
