The impact of left ventricular hypertension on coronary now patterns in adu
lt patients has been web described. In contrast, few reports exist regardin
g the association of right coronary pow abnormalities with right ventricula
r hypertension. The observation of myocardial infarcts, right ventricular h
yper-tension, and abnormal coronary flow pattern-as well as its normalizati
on with relief of right ventricular hypertension-lends support to a causal
relation between ventricular hypertension and coronary flow abnormalities.
