Sensitivity and Specificity of Myocardial Performance Indexing Assessing Acute Right Ventricular Infarction

The goal of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity Myocardial Performance Index (MPI)for assessment acute right ventricular Infraction. This a descriptive type cross-sectional study. carried out in Coronary Care Unit, Department Cardiology, Sir Salimulla Medical College, Mitford Hospital. After exclusion total 72 patients were included study, which 24 had inferior MI with RV involvement diagnosed by ≥ 1mm ST-segment elevation V3R-V5R right-sided ECG (group-I) 48 without (group-II). All underwent echocardiography within hours admission. revealed that MPI significantly increased (0.57± 0.13) RVMI compared IMI (0.24± 0.12). detected 08 (0.45± 0.09) who did not have findings (Group-II). Repeat estimation after 05 days 21 (Group-I) isolated (Group-II) RVMPI > 0.30showed dramatic reduction (0.19± 0.07 0.22±0.09), respectively. 0.30 has high (100%) (89%) for diagnosis presence IMI. recommended may be new non-invasive echocardiographic gold standard tool diagnosing also function myocardial infarction specificity. changes can serially followed assess function.
