Acute right ventricular infarction without infero-posterior left ventricular infarction.
Two cases of acute right ventricular infarction associated with acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction in the absence of inferior and/or posterior left ventricular infarction are presented. Such a combination is likely to occur from acute occlusion of the left anterior descending artery in the face of severe narrowing of the infundibular (conus) artery rather than from acute occlusion of the right coronary artery.
