Description
Summary:Abstract Background Right chambers involvement in left ventricular inferior wall myocardial infarction (LVIWMI) has a prognostic impact. Purpose To evaluate the influence of LVIWMI in right atrium (RA) and right ventricular (RV) mechanics. Methods We included 60 consecutive patients who underwent myocardial perfusion (MP) gated-SPECT for chest pain. We identify 30 patients with LVIWMI and 30 control individuals with normal MP. Comprehensive echocardiography was performed in all patients. RV free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) and RA reservoir (RAr), contraction (RAct) and conduit (RAcd) phase strain were analyzed by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Results RVFWLS (−26.1 vs 30.3, p
