Isolated right ventricular infarction
International Journal of Cardiology, 1992The literature on isolated right ventricular infarction is reviewed and local experience is reported. Chronic lung disease is an important risk factor. Chest pain and breathlessness are common. Syncope and sudden collapse can also occur. Rhythm disorders include sinus bradycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation ...

Right ventricular infarction is often associated with myocardial infarction located in the inferior or posterior left ventricular wall. It should be suspected if a patient has distended neck veins with Kussmaul's sign, ST-segment elevation in the V4R precordial lead, possible heart block, and extreme sensitivity to preload reducers such as ...

Right ventricular myocardial infarction
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 1991Right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) is recognized as an important clinical entity. The clinical course of patients with RVMI may be benign, or it may progress to profound hypotension and cardiogenic shock. The medical and nursing management of these patients differs significantly from that of patients with left ventricular infarction.

Right ventricular infarction revisited
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1979Hemodynamic monitoring of patients with acute myocardial infarction has gained in popularity in recent years because physicians have found that it aids them in making therapeutic decisions. The detection of unsuspected volume depletion or unexpectedly severe left ventricular dysfunction occurs commonly enough to rescue patients from inappropriate use ...

Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarctions
Cardiology in ReviewAcute isolated right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarctions are relatively uncommon in clinical practice; more frequently, RV infarctions occur in association with inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions. Recent advances in diagnostic tools and methods have significantly improved our ability to detect RV infarctions in both scenarios. For

Acute Right Ventricular Infarction
Cardiology Clinics, 2012This article reviews the pathophysiology, hemodynamics, natural history, and management of patients with inferior myocardial infarction complicated by right ventricular infarction. Five key areas are highlighted in which advances may impact catheterization and laboratory management of these acutely ill patients.

Cyanosis and Right Ventricular Infarction
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981To the Editor.— Marshall and Ecklund (1980;244:330) describe an interesting case of nitrate overdose and resultant methemoglobinemia in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. They correctly point out the need to consider this drug-related side effect in cyanotic patients who have ingested unknown quantities of nitrates.

Isolated right ventricular infarction
International Journal of Cardiology, 1994Our experience with 18 cases of isolated right ventricular infarction is reported and the literature is reviewed. Chronic lung disease with right ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor. Chest pain is the usual symptom at presentation but some cases can have breathlessness, palpitations or syncope.

Focus on critical care, 1991
RVI is complex and often overlooked. It presents with a wide clinical spectrum from a rather benign, uncomplicated disorder to a serious event resulting in shock. Critical care nurses should be aware of the possibility of RVI in any patient presenting with an inferior or posterior wall infarction.

Emergency Medicine, 1996
AbstractRight ventricular infarction is present in up to 80% of autopsy specimens following fatal myocardial infarction. The clinical features suggestive of right ventricular infarction such as raised systemic venous pressure, clear lung fields, hypotension and atrio‐ventricular nodal disturbances usually occur in association with inferior myocardial ...
