title: Rapid hemodynamic improvement in right ventricular infarction after coronary angioplasty.
abstract: A patient is described where the hemodynamic disturbance caused by a right ventricular infarction was promptly corrected after coronary angioplasty (PTCA). This indicates that reperfusion may be useful in managing hypotension due to predominant right ventricular infarction.
