Right Ventricular Involvement in Inferior Myocardial Infarction Patients Using 2 Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Right Ventricular Involvement in Inferior Myocardial Infarction Patients Using 2 Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Right ventricular infarction usually occurs in association with inferior myocardial
 infarction in about 10-50% of the cases. Currently the presence of elevation in right
 pericordial leads is the most powerful indicator of right ventricular infarction.

 The incidence of right ventricular infarction is more in postmortem studies,meaning that
 Right ventricular infarction is underestimated, possible explanation for this difference
 could be explained that electrocardiographic sign of Right ventricular infarction disappear
 early or patients presented late.

 The role of Right ventricular systolic function in inferior myocardial infarction patients
 with or without Right ventricular infarction Had been studied. In our study we will Assess
 Right Ventricular infarction in patients of acute inferior myocardial infarction undergoing
 primary percutaneous coronary intervention by correlating electrocardiogram, Right
 ventricular systolic function by echocardiography with the angiographic finding.
Inclusion Criteria:

 1. Patients of recent acute inferior myocardial infarction.

 2. Patients managed by Primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 1. Pervious inferior Myocardial Infarction.

 2. Inferior Myocardial Infarction treated by thrombolytic therapy.

 3. Chronic pulmonary disease.

 4. estimatedPulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure ≥35 mmHg by Echocardiography.

 5. Valvular heart disease. 6- Dilated cardio-myopathy patients.
