    Isolated right ventricular infarction is rare. In patients with lung disease, it can mimic left ventricular heart attacks on electrocardiograms, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Isolated right ventricular infarction is exceptionally rare.
    • Cor pulmonale and right ventricular hypertrophy are common in diffuse interstitial lung disease.
    • Electrocardiographic changes can be complex in right ventricular pathology.

    Observation:

    • A patient with diffuse interstitial lung disease presented with ST segment elevation on electrocardiogram.
    • Autopsy revealed an isolated right ventricular infarct affecting 70% of its circumference.
    • There was no involvement of the left ventricle or septum.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates an isolated right ventricular infarct.
    • The infarct occurred in a patient with cor pulmonale and right ventricular hypertrophy.

  • Electrocardiographic findings mimicked left ventricular transmural infarction.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering isolated right ventricular infarction in specific clinical contexts.
    • Electrocardiographic interpretation requires careful correlation with clinical and pathological findings.
    • Understanding these rare presentations improves diagnostic accuracy for myocardial infarction.
