Right ventricle function in patients with anterior myocardial infarction: are we sure it is not involved?
| Resumo: | The right and left ventricle of heart are intimately connected by anatomical and functional links. Hence, acute changes in cardiac geometry and function can modify the performance and physiology of both sides of the heart, influencing each other. After a brief overview of the anatomy and related imaging techniques for the study of right ventricular function, we report a review-on the interesting correlation of acute anterior myocardial infarction and right ventricular function, very often underestimated. |
