  • Title: [Concomitant infarction of the right ventricle in patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction (author's transl)].
    Author: Kikis D, Esser H, Stiens R, Bechtelsheimer H.
    Journal: Med Klin; 1977 Sep 02; 72(35):1372-8. PubMed ID: 904533.
    Abstract:
    In 56 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction hemodynamic parameters were studied. 21 patients proved to suffer from anterior infarction and 35 patients an inferior infarction. By clinical as well as by hemodynamic findings 10 patients out of the group of the 35 patients with inferior infarction were suspect of having a concomitant infarction of the right ventricle. As it is known from literature and documented by the present results this is not a rarity. Failure of the right ventricle is the main cause of death in these patients.
