“…This finding is consistent with results of Bueno et al 55 No significant differences were observed between inferior MI patients with and without RVI regarding patients' gender. This finding is inconsistent with results of Obradovic et al 57 study in Serbia which confirmed that women were at higher risk of RVI than men.…”

Background:The right ventricular infarction occurs frequently in association with inferior myocardial infarction and occurs separately in rare patterns. It is related to higher morbidity and mortality rates. Aim of study:To measure the prevalence of right ventricular infarction among patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction and identifying the characteristics related to right ventricular infarction. Patients and methods: A cross sectional study carried out in CoronaryCare Unit of Azadi Teaching hospital in Kirkuk through the period from 1 st of January to31 st of October, 2017 on convenient sample of 150 inferior wall myocardial infarction patients. The data were collected by publisher through direct interview and filling of a prepared questionnaire.Results: Right ventricular infarction was present among 39.3% of patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction. There was a highly significant association between older age of self-employed patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction and right ventricular infarction (p<0.001). The main significant risk factors for right ventricular infarction among inferior wall myocardial infarction patients were family history of heart diseases and obesity (p<0.001, p=0.01). Inferior wall myocardial infarction patients with right ventricular infarction were significantly had higher complicated outcome than myocardial infarction patients with absence of right ventricular infarction (p=0.002). Conclusions:The prevalence of right ventricular infarction in inferior myocardial infarction is within normal range of previous literatures.

“…This might be due to the low occurrence of certain other risk factors in this sample of women, like smoking. This finding contradicts the research by Obradovic S, et al of the increased incidence of RVI in females [8]. Our sample of women was from a southeast culture where smoking is less common in the female gender [9].…”

Background Ischemic heart disease, particularly inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI), is a significant issue in cardiac health. It can further add up to the morbidity and mortality when it is associated with right ventricular infarction (RVI). Elevated ST-segment elevations in the right chest lead number, three (V3R), and four (V4R), can be used to diagnose right ventricular infarction (RVI). The odds of RVI can be identified according to age groups, gender, and risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension, and smoking. This can help in the prevention of right ventricular infarct and its complications by controlling the risk factors which affect the outcome the most. Methods A sample of 1000 patients (n=1000) with acute IWMI was evaluated for the incidence of accompanying right ventricular infarct. These patients were then assessed for various known risk factors of myocardial infarction. Results Comparing the incidence of RVI against various risk factors, we found that there is an increased incidence of RVI in patients with risk factors that include hypertension and smoking. Conclusions The study suggests that IWMI can be accompanied by RVI in almost one-third of the cases, (36% in our study). The odds of RVI are highest in patients of hypertension, and the timely control of certain risk factors will result in reduced incidence and hence the complication associated with right ventricular infarction.

“…In the current study, gender was not significantly associated with right ventricular infarction occurrence. However, a study showed that female patients are at increased risk of right ventricular infarction (Obradovic et al, 2015). In the current study, 49.09% of patients were smokers, and no significant association was found between smoking and the incidence of RVI in patients with inferior wall MI, in contrast to a previous study which reported smoking as a risk factor for right ventricular infarction (Obradovic et al, 2015).…”

The prospective study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Nishtar Medical Hospital & CPEIC Multan from August 2020 to February 2021 to evaluate the frequency of right ventricular infarction in subjects with inferior wall myocardial infarction. A total of 110 patients were included. Age, gender, smoking history, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension were recorded. Clinical and radiographic examination was done, and the right ventricular infarction was recorded accordingly. Results showed that of 110 subjects, 43 (39.09%) had right ventricular infarction. Thus, it was concluded that right ventricular infarction is highly prevalent in subjects with inferior wall myocardial infarction. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for reducing morbidity and mortality.
