    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Isolated right ventricular infarction is an uncommon cardiac event.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old male presented pulseless, initially suspected of left ventricular infarction.
    • Autopsy revealed a thrombus in a right coronary artery branch causing anterior right ventricular wall infarction.

    Findings:

    • This autopsy confirmed a rare case of isolated anterior right ventricular infarction.
    • Literature review identified only 8 similar documented cases.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering right ventricular infarction in differential diagnoses.
    • Underscores the need for further research into the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this condition.
