Abstract
Right and left hemodynamics were simultaneously studied in 127 patients with acute myocardial infarction with respect to ECG localization. Hemodynamic profiles of the different localizations suggest a high incidence of right ventricular dysfunction in infero-posterior infarcts. The comparison with the other localizations suggests that such a right ventricular dysfunction is likely to be responsible for additional underestimation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure when estimated by pulmonary diastolic pressure.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
