A proposed functional clinical classification predicts in-hospital and long-term survival in the setting of acute right ventricular infarction

The objectives of the present investigation were to validate the prognostic role of a proposed Clinical Classification [CC], to evaluate the TIMI risk score [RS] and to establish whether the TIMI-RS should incorporate points for patients with acute right ventricular infarction [TIMI-RS-RVI]. A total...

Description
Summary:The objectives of the present investigation were to validate the prognostic role of a proposed Clinical Classification [CC], to evaluate the TIMI risk score [RS] and to establish whether the TIMI-RS should incorporate points for patients with acute right ventricular infarction [TIMI-RS-RVI]. A total of 523 RVI patients were classified on clinical and functional basis as: A, without right ventricular failure [RVF], B with RVF and C with cardiogenic shock. The CC was evaluated prospectively among 98 patients with RVI and retrospectively in 425 RVI patients. The TIMI-RS was evaluated prospectively among 622 patients with STEMI [anterior:277, inferior:247, RVI:98], and retrospectively in 425 RVI patients. The CC established differences among the 3-RVI Classes for in-hospital mortality [prospectively and retrospectively; p
