To elucidate the role of right ventricular asynergy and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in hemodynamic alterations occurring during right ventricular infarction, left and right ventriculography with pressure measurements were performed in 22 patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Twelve patients with a proximal right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion (Group I) had elevated right atrial pressure (16 +/- 4 vs 8 +/- 5 mmHg, p less than 0.01), low cardiac output (2.5 +/- 0.7 vs 3.5 +/- 0.6 l/min/m2, p less than 0.05) and a greater degree of TR, compared with 10 patients with a distal RCA occlusion (Group II). Inferoposterior wall asynergy of the right and left ventricles was similar in Groups I and II. In Group I, there was an additional asynergy of the anterolateral free wall of the right ventricle. Cardiac output in those patients was not related to the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) but to the right ventricular EF. A greater degree of TR was found in association with a lower right ventricular EF. The decrease in cardiac output was closely related to the extent of TR. These results indicate that right ventricular asynergy and TR due to proximal RCA occlusion may play important roles as causes of hemodynamic alterations seen during the acute phase of inferior myocardial infarction.

The preferable position for quantifying left ventricular diameter by transthoracic echocardiography.

Department of Cardiology, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, 1-Kawasumi, Mizuho-cho, Mizuho-ku, Nagoya, 467-8601, Japan.
Background: In quantifying left ventricular (LV) diameter, which position for echocardiographic measurements, mitral valve tip level (MV-tip) or LV mid level (LV-mid), more accurately represents the LV volume is unclear. Furthermore, which factor affects the measurement error also has not been elucidated.
Methods: We enrolled 150 patients without myocardial infarction and local asynergy who underwent echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).

Background: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and normal electrocardiogram (ECG) may have an increased risk of late diagnosis and complications of the disease.
Objective: To study the demographic, angiographic and echocardiographic characteristics of patients hospitalized for ACS in whom the ECG was normal on admission to the hospital.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who were hospitalized for ACS without ST-elevation between 2015 and 2023 and who had coronary artery disease (CAD) confirmed by coronary angiography.

Aim To determine clinical and laboratory parameters associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and to develop a multifactorial prognostic model of in-hospital mortality.Material and methods This was a study based on the 2019-2020 Registry of acute coronary syndrome of the Tyumen Cardiology Research Center, a branch of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center. The study included 477 patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 617 patients with non-ST segment elevation AMI, and 26 patients with unspecified AMI.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, characterized by transient wall motion abnormalities of the left ventricle. Although biventricular involvements are common with a poor prognosis, isolated right ventricular (RV) involvement of TTC is a rare, and its diagnosis remains challenging.
Case Presentation: We encountered a case of isolated RV-TTC presenting as acute RV failure, with progression to cardiogenic shock requiring intensive treatment.

Department of Cardiology, National Hospital Organization Kyoto Medical Center, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of heart failure (HF); however, little focus is placed on the risk stratification for, and prevention of, incident HF in patients with AF.
Objectives: This study aimed to construct and validate a machine learning (ML) prediction model for HF hospitalization in patients with AF.
Methods: The Fushimi AF Registry is a community-based prospective survey of patients with AF in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
