This book discloses main anatomico-physiological characteristics of the RV, explains pathophysiological changes related to involvement of this chamber in acute inferior STEMIs and reviews current treatment approaches. The right ventricle (RV) has long been neglected, yet its function has been recently shown to be a major determinant of clinical outcome and consequently should be considered during clinical management and treatment. Thus, the need for early diagnosis and proper treatment of RV infarction which complicates up to 50% of inferior STEMIs is evident. In practice, clinicians largely...
