Abstract
Right ventricular infarction is frequently seen with inferior myocardi al infarction, but it rarely presents in isolation. We describe a case of isolated right ventricular infarction complicated with ventricular septal defect. Clinical, hemodynamic, echocardiographic, and surgical features are discussed. Twenty months following surgical repair of th e ventricular septal defect and two vessel coronary artery bypass surg ery, the patient continues to do well and is free from angina and exer tional dyspnea.
