Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how permanent damage to the right ventricle (RV) affects patients who had a heart attack called inferior STEMI, especially when the blockage is in the right coronary artery (RCA).
- Researchers used cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to assess the heart function of 291 patients shortly after the event and three months later, finding that 20% had permanent RV damage which negatively impacted their heart function.
- While this RV damage was linked to larger areas of heart tissue injury, it didn't predict how well the left ventricle (LV) would function overall, suggesting that RV health plays a role in predicting damage but not in predicting LV performance.
