Abstract
PURPOSE: 19-51% of inferior acute myocardial infarction(AMI) patients combine with right ventricular infarction(RVI). RVI is associated with a highly increased in-hospital mortality. Therefore, early diagnosis of RVI in inferior acute myocardial infarction is very important. This study was planned to investigate the usefulness of B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) in the early diagnosis of RVI.
