Right ventricular function and determining factors of dysfunction in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction: a cross-sectional study with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Over the past few decades, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients has been the focus of research. Recently, co-occurring right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has received more attention in clinical practice. We aimed to assess RV function using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and identify factors that may contribute to RV dysfunction in STEMI patients.

Methods

We retrospectively studied 189 patients with STEMI who underwent CMR 1-7 days after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The ejection fraction (EF), wall thickening rate (WTR), peak radial strain (RS), circumferential strain (CS) and longitudinal strain (LS) of the LV, interventricular septum (IVS) and RV were measured with cine
