Right ventricular function in patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing an invasive approach.

Background: Right ventricular involvement in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) entails an increased morbidity and mortality. However, very scarce data is present on its affection in the setting of non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Aim: To assess the affection of right ventricular function in patients presenting with NSTEMI undergoing an invasive procedure.
