Right ventricular function is associated with 28-day mortality in myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: A retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Right ventricular (RV) function is increasingly being recognised as an important factor influencing outcomes in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). In this study, we investigated RV echocardiographic parameters' association with 28-day mortality in patients admitted to intensive care with STEMI complicated by CS with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF).

Method

We performed a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) in a single tertiary cardiac centre over a 34-month period with STEMI complicated by CS and LVEF < 40%. Clinical and echocardiographic data were collected and correlated with 28-day mortality.

Results

One-hundred patients were included with a mean age of 62.
