Abstract:
Right ventricular infarction is often associated with an inferior myocardial infarction. ECG demonstrates a ST segment elevation in the leads V3R and V4R when taken early. Two dimensional and M mode echocardiography are useful in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tamponade. However they can demonstrate right ventricular functional derangements. Hemodynamic abnormalities are variables: adiastole, features of tricuspid regurgitation.
