Tissue Doppler systolic annular velocity and myocardial performance index as predictors of right ventricular affection and culprit lesion location in acute inferior myocardial infarction

Tissue Doppler systolic annular velocity and myocardial performance index as predictors of right ventricular affection and culprit lesion location in acute inferior myocardial infarction

Aim: This study aims at using peak lateral tricuspid annular systolic velocity (ST) and right ventricular myocardial performance index (RV-MPI) as predictors of RV infarction (RVI) and subsequently localizing the culprit lesion in the proximal right coronary (RCA) rather than other locations [the di...
