  • Title: [Paraclinical tests in the diagnosis of right ventricle infarction].
    Author: Lançon JP, Girardot C, Caillard B, Louis P.
    Journal: Agressologie; 1989 Jan; 30(1):29-31. PubMed ID: 2660614.
    Abstract:
    Right ventricular infarction is often associated with an inferior myocardial infarction. ECG demonstrates a ST segment elevation in the leads V3R and V4R when taken early. Two dimensional and M mode echocardiography are useful in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tamponade. However they can demonstrate right ventricular functional derangements. Hemodynamic abnormalities are variables: adiastole, features of tricuspid regurgitation.
