This literature review is devoted to the right ventricular (RV) AMI as the least studied problem of contemporary cardiology. We present here description of specific characteristics of blood supply to ventricles of the heart, clinical picture, diagnostic criteria and prognosis of RV infarction. We also present current strategy of management of patients with RV AMI including early revascularization with the help of percutaneous coronary intervention.
