Right ventricular involvement in acute myocardial infarction. Risk stratification by visualization of wall motion, edema and delayed enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance

چکیده
Methods We studied 431 patients 1-4 days after primary angioplasty for ST-elevation AMI. T2-weighted and delayed enhancement (DE) CMR was used for visualizing edema and scar to calculate myocardial salvage (MS). Cine-imaging was used for wall motion analysis. Patients with RVI were compared to matched patients with isolated left ventricular (LV) infarction. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE): a composite of death, reinfarction and congestive heart failure.

Right ventricular injury in ST-elevation myocardial infarction: risk stratification by visualization of wall motion, edema, and delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUND Patients with right ventricular injury (RVI) complicating ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have impaired prognosis, but it is unclear which patients are at risk of developing RVI. Cardiac magnetic resonance can identify these patients and might add important information on risk stratification, prognosis, and treatment. Aims were to determine the predictors and the prognosti...
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...

Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملRight ventricular ischemic injury in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: characterization with cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUND Experimental data show that the right ventricle (RV) is more resistant to ischemia than the left ventricle. To date, limited data are available in humans because of the difficulty of discriminating reversible from irreversible ischemic damage. We sought to characterize RV ischemic injury in patients with reperfused myocardial infarction using cardiovascular magnetic resonance. METH...
