    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Critical Care Nursing

    Background:

    • Right Ventricular Infarction (RVI) is a complex cardiac condition.
    • RVI presentation varies widely, from mild to life-threatening shock.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To increase awareness of RVI among critical care nurses.
    • To provide a nursing care plan for RVI patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations of RVI.
    • Development of a nursing care plan.

    Main Results:

    • RVI can present with a broad clinical spectrum.
    • Early recognition is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Critical care nurses should consider RVI in patients with inferior or posterior wall myocardial infarction.
    • A structured nursing care plan can address RVI management.
