An inferior myocardial infarction results from occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA). This can cause a ST elevation myocardial infarction or a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

The heart was enlarged, weighing 500 gm. There was an area of infarction of the posterosuperior wall of the left ventricle and the upper and lower posterior portions of the interventricular septum.

A 67-year-old man with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction had recurrent ventricular fibrillation that required insertion of temporary pacemaker. When a permanent pacemaker was inserted stabl ...

“The efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban was similar to that of warfarin in resolving left ventricular thrombus at three months follow-up,” said Jehangir Ali Shah, MBBS, an associate professor ...

The approval was supported by data from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven phase 3 FINEARTS-HF study.

Beta-blocker treatment beyond 1 year after myocardial infarction (MI) for patients without heart failure or left ventricular systolic dysfunction was not associated with improved cardiovascular ...

The median infarct size was 18.0% (assessed as a percentage of left ventricular mass). For patients who died by one year, the infarct size was significantly larger than those who survived.

Moreover, the reduction of the size of infarct was significantly greater in all patients in the 'stem cell group' and correlates with a better preserved regional left ventricle function.

Experts define the apex of the heart by the left ventricular (LV) apex and the right ventricular (RV) apex. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body, and the right ...
