Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of restrictive right ventricular filling pattern (RRVFP) in patients with the first acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI) complicated by right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI). METHOD: A total of 152 patients with acute IWMI complicated by RVMI undergoing p‑PCI were divided into two groups according to the presence of RRVFP. RRVFP was defined as tricuspid diastolic early/late flow velocities (Et/At) > 2 and Et deceleration time (DT) < 120 ms. RESULTS: There were 23 patients with RRVFP in the study cohort. At, DTt, isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT), and tissue Doppler tricuspid annular late velocity (A't) were reduced significantly in patients with RRVFP than in those without RRVFP (At 19.6 ± 2.7 vs. 39.1 ± 7.4 cm/s, p < 0.001; DTt 106 ± 13 vs.156 ± 21 ms, p = 0.001; IVRT 59 ± 6.7 vs. 62 ± 7.4 ms, p = 0.01; A't 4.6 ± 1.1 vs. 8.6 ± 1.05, p = 0.001). Et/At ratios were higher in patients with RRVFP than in those without RRVFP (Et/At 2.20 ± 0.2 vs. 1.15 ± 0.37, p < 0.001). Et, tissue Doppler tricuspid annular early velocity (E't), E't/A't ratio, and Et/E't ratio were not significantly different between groups (Et 43.3 ± 5.4 vs. 40.7 ± 9.2 cm/s p = 0.18; E't 8.8 ± 1.4 vs. 9.5 ± 2.3, p = 0.15; E't/A't 1.08 ± 0.24 vs. 1.13 ± 0.30, p = 0.52; Et/E't ratio 5.0 ± 1.1 vs. 4.5 ± 1.5 p = 0.09). Presence of E't/A't > 2, short DTt, RRVFP, unsuccessful p‑PCI, and cardiogenic shock on admission were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality (p < 0.05) in multivariable logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION: Presence of RRVFP is associated with in-hospital mortality in patients presenting with their first IWMI complicated by RVMI.
