Hypotension in right ventricular infarction is treated with fluid loading, and nitrates are contraindicated. Inferior STEMI. Funtabulously Frivolous Friday Five 322 Isolated RV infarction is extremely uncommon.In patients presenting with inferior STEMI, right ventricular infarction is suggested by the presence of:There are several approaches to recording a right-sided ECG:

is it because nitroglycerin decrease preload which is bad for right side MI b/c that means it gets even less blood return? 2013 Sep;2(3):226-34. Either way, it has a rapid effect on the vasculature in that it dilates veins and arterioles.

Isolated RV infarction is extremely uncommon. He has a passion for ECG interpretation and medical education | advice against adding fluids in this situation, favoring inhaled nitroglycerin etcThis is great. Whilst most of it was nothing new, he did touch on something that I didn’t know and it set my mind racing, not just about GTN, but about all manner of things that we just take for granted….GTN, a common and important drug used in the pre-hospital environment to treat ACS or chest pain of suspected cardiac origin. Repeat ECG of the same patient with V4R electrode position: Patients with RV infarction are very preload sensitive (due to poor RV contractility) and can develop severe hypotension in response to nitrates or other preload-reducing agents. COPD is a significant and widespread health issue that affects an increasing number of people. Patients with inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), associated with right ventricular infarction, are thought to be at higher risk of developing hypotension when administered nitroglycerin (NTG). Right ventricular infarction complicates up to 40% of inferior STEMIs.

Emergency Physician in Prehospital and Retrieval Medicine in Sydney, Australia. PMC3821821. Some time ago I heard a Critical Care Paramedic talking about Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN) and its Pharmacodynamics. CCC – Right ventricular failure; ECG Library – Inferior STEMI; ECG Library – Right ventricular infarction; Journal articles. This effectively reduces preload and afterload which in turn reduces the workload of the myocardium resulting in less myocardial demand for oxygen. An infarction of the right ventricle. It commonly shows on a 12 lead ECG as ST segment elevation in V1 and in leads II and III with III showing greater than II as lead III has a better angle on the RV (LITFL, From what I can see, it is deployed as a “blunt tool” in all cases of chest pain before an ECG is conducted therefore indiscriminate of infarct location. As a result of OHCA, CPR has become a standard intervention from layperson first aid through to pre-hospital providers, Paramedics and the hospital emergency […] This ECG shows a full set of right-sided leads (V3R-V6R), with V1 and V2 in their original positions. According to LITFL (As mentioned above, the heart will be congested and the left ventricle will have reduced end diastolic pressure (preload). Obviously the quick fix is to administer a fluid bolus, lay the patient supine and manage the hypotension but this can be quite a dangerous situation for your patient and may not be easily tolerated.I have seen this once in my career and at the time I wondered what had happened.

This is a tantalising subject! why is that? Acute myocardial infarction (MI) involving only the right ventricle is an uncommon event. Inohara T, Kohsaka S, Fukuda K, Menon V. The challenges in the management of right ventricular infarction.

This event triggered my memory and I decided to read more about it.So, there you have it! I knew that the patient had dropped his blood pressure which I was aware could happen when using GTN, but I was unaware that he was having a RV infarct as well.
