Overview

  • Patients with hemodynamically significant right ventricular infarction typically present with hypotension, jugular vein distention, and occasionally shock, all in the presence of clear lung fields. Valvular insufficiency can also occur, leading to tricuspid regurgitation. These findings are in contrast to the frequent pulmonary congestion, third or fourth heart sounds, and mitral regurgitation with left ventricular infarcts.
