Recovery from cardiogenic shock complicating right ventricular myocardial infarction.
Introduction Recently the din ical and haemodynamic complica tions of predominant right ventricular infarction have become clear1, 1 . ~ . S_ Although the condition is uncommon it'i importance li~s in the high incidence of cardiogenic shock which in sharp contrast to shock complicating left ventricular infarction, ca rries a good prognosis . A 60 per cen t surviva l has been reported from a sop...
متن کاملRight ventricular edema complicating acute inferior myocardial infarction as demonstrated by T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Right ventricular (RV) involvement after acute myocardial infarction (MI) carries an adverse prognosis, but in the majority of patients RV function recovers fully over time.1 It is believed that the lower oxygen requirement of the RV and higher collateral flow make the RV more resistant to ischemia. In the absence of infarction, myocardial ischemia leads to intracellular and subsequently extrac...
متن کاملVentricular Septal Dissection Complicating Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction
Postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect is an increasingly rare mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. We present a case of acute myocardial infarction from right coronary artery occlusion that developed hypotension and systolic murmur 12 hours after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Although preoperative imaging suggested a large ventricular septal def...
متن کاملEchocardiographic observations on ventricular septal rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction.
Echocardiograms were performed on three patients with ventricular septal rupture complicating myocardial infarction. The pulmonary artery mean pressure was 30 mm Hg or more in all three patients. The size of the ventricular septal defect, determined at operation or autopsy, was 2 cm or greater in each patient. The salient echocardiographic abnormality was dilatation of the right ventricle. The ...
متن کاملMyocardial infarction complicating critical illness
Cardiac troponins are highly sensitive and specific indicators of myocardial injury. Although the mechanism of this injury is not entirely clear, it carries important prognostic information. Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponins have been described in a wide variety of conditions other than myocardial infarction (MI). The current study is an important first step in trying to determine the ...
