Diagnostic difficulties of isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction
https://doi.org/10.18087/cardio.2021.9.n1601
Abstract
The article describes a case of isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction induced by proximal occlusion of the right coronary artery in a patient with the left type of heart blood supply. A specific feature of the case was detection of the McConnell’s sign, which is considered characteristic of pulmonary artery thromboembolism.
Keywords
Isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction,
proximal occlusion of the right coronary artery,
McConnell’s sign
