Right Ventricular Functional Recovery after Acute Myocardial Infarction by 2D Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography
Walid Mohammed Sallam;
Abstract
SUMMARY
• Right Ventricular (RV) infarction is considered a high risk criterion for patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction & is associated with increased in-hospital morbidity & mortality.
• However, it’s characterized by good long-term prognosis & rapid functional recovery.
• Assessment of the RV functions in these patients is usually missed during the routine clinical, ECG & echocardiographic assessment.
• The conventional RV parameters (RV FAC, TAPSE & S’) aren’t sensitive in early detection of RV dysfunction.
• Nowadays, a novel method, two dimensional strain imaging, has been developed for the quantitative assessment of global and regional myocardial function.
• The use of 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography to assess the RV free wall strain is a yielding technique for detection of subclinical RV dysfunction before the development of the clinical syndrome of the RV failure, and this can lead to changes in the medical & interventional management plans.
• The current study included 80 patients presenting with acute STEMI with successful reperfusion. They
