Abstract
Isolated right ventricular infarction is uncommon, but when it occurs its prompt recognition may alter therapy substantially. Electrocardiog raphic changes accompanying acute right ventricular infarction are var iable and may be difficult to recognize. The case of a 40-year-old man who had right ventricular infarction with unusual electrocardiographi c findings is presented. The clinical, hemodynamic, and electrocardiog raphic findings of right ventricular infarction are discussed.
