Clinical characteristics and prognosis differences between isolated right and left ventricular myocardial infarction in the Chinese population: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is divided into left ventricular myocardial infarction (LVMI) and right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) according to the regions of myocardial ischemic necrosis. Clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognosis differences between isolated RVMI and LVMI have not been well characterized. This study aimed to explore this difference of patients with isolated RVMI and LVMI.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 3,506 patients hospitalized with coronary angiography diagnosed type 1 myocardial infarction (MI). Characteristics of admission and treatment strategies were compared in patients with isolated RVMI and LVMI. COX proportional hazards models with and without inverse probability of treatme
