Abstract
In patients with a first, acute reperfused ST-elevation myocardial infarction without associated RV infarction, RV function may be affected discrepantly depending on the different infarction sites. In patients with inferior infarction without concomitant RV infarction, only regional RV diastolic dysfunction is observed, whereas the alteration of global RV function is more pronounced in patients with anterior wall infarction.
