title: [Radioisotope and ultrasonic diagnosis of a localized form of infarction of the right ventricle].
abstract: We are reporting the case of a localized form of right ventricle infarction. The right catheterization, on which the diagnosis usually rests, is completely normal. Cardiac gamma-angiography and bi-dimensional sonography demonstrate, on the contrary, a localized dyskinesis of the inferior wall of the right ventricle which is not dilated and retains its ejection fraction. The failure of right catheterization in the diagnosis of infarction of the right ventricle is usually attributed to hypovolemia or a delay in the performance of the catheterization, which is not the case here. Therefore, this case demonstrates the existence of infarction of the right ventricle without total diastolic or systolic dysfunction, the diagnosis of which may be made with isotopic and sonographic methods.
