title: [Right ventricle myocardial infarction: scintigraphic and echocardiographic findings. A case report (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors describe a case of left ventricle myocardial infarction who showed right ventricular failure. The patient is been studied by mono and bidimensional echocardiography, myocardial scintigraphy, ecg, chest X ray and right catheterism. Myocardial scintigraphy localized "cold" areas in interventricular septum and in right inferior wall. Echocardiography showed dilatation of the right side but not on the left heart side. The not invasive examinations allowed to assess that right ventricular failure was primary and not secondary left ventricular failure. The authors discuss findings of echocardiographic examination and of other non invasive methods.
