Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction with Right Ventricular Involvement resembling Acute
نویسنده
چکیده
On admission the physical examination was normal with a blood pressure of 130/90 mmHg. The initial electrocardiogram (Figure 1A) showed sinus rhythm with convex-upwards ST segment elevation (transmural injury) decreasing from V1 to V3 and acute inferior myocardial infarction pattern with Q waves and ST segment elevation of transmural injury in leads III and aVF. The patient was medicated with aspirin, clopidogrel (300 mg) and enoxaparin, and sent to the catheterization lab. Angiography revealed total proximal occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA) (Figure 1B) and discrete irregularities in the LAD and LCx. (Figure 1C).

Myocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...

Background :In addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (MI), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting MI. Many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the ST segment deviations in Electrocardiogram (ECG).Additional posterior and right precor...
متن کاملClinical manifestations of right ventricle involvement in inferior myocardial infarction
Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of right ventricle (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (Inf MI) is very critical. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical findings of Inf MI with or without RV infarction. Methods: From September 2010 to September 2012, 195 patients with definite diagnosis of Inf MI were evaluated in the Department of Cardiology, in Babol, north of...

Background Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between initial serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and right ventricular functions in inferior myocardial infarction (MI) with and without right ventricular involvement. Methods The study included 61 patients, who presented with acute inferior MI. Twenty-seven patients had right ventricular involvement. Blood samples for BNP ...

We measured right and left ventricular ejection fracttion (EF) from high frequency time-activity curves obtained during the initial passage of an intravenous bolus of 99mTc (Sn) pyrophosphate. In 22 normal controls right ventricular EF averaged 0.52 +/- 0.04 (SD). In 24 acute anterior or lateral infarction patients right ventricular EF was normal (0.56 +/- 0.10), while left ventricular EF was r...
