Assessment of Isolated Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarction by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Right ventricular dysfunction assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging predicts poor prognosis late after myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether right ventricular (RV) function late after myocardial infarction (MI) impacts long-term prognosis. BACKGROUND Right ventricular failure predicts early mortality in patients with acute MI. The prognostic impact of RV function late after MI is not well defined. Accordingly, we determined whether RV dysfunction late after MI influences survival beyond tr...

Contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging of right ventricular infarction.

OBJECTIVES We assessed the role of late enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (LE-CMR) for the diagnosis of right ventricular infarction (RVI). BACKGROUND Right ventricular infarction occurs in about one-half of patients with inferior myocardial infarction (MI). It is associated with an unfavorable prognosis, but established methods often lack the diagnostic accuracy to detect...

Right ventricular edema complicating acute inferior myocardial infarction as demonstrated by T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Right ventricular (RV) involvement after acute myocardial infarction (MI) carries an adverse prognosis, but in the majority of patients RV function recovers fully over time.1 It is believed that the lower oxygen requirement of the RV and higher collateral flow make the RV more resistant to ischemia. In the absence of infarction, myocardial ischemia leads to intracellular and subsequently extrac...
