Aim of the Work: To study the in-hospital outcome of right ventricular involvement (RVI) in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction (AIMI). Material and Methods: We conducted a short prospective study carried out on 60 patients with AIMI, classified into two groups; patients group: AIMI with RVI; inferior or infroposterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ≥ 0.1 mV V4R elevation, and control group: AIMI without RVI; inferior or infroposterior AMI without ≥ 0.1 mV V4R elevation. We followed up both groups during their hospital stay and compared both groups regarding development of complications and mortality. Results: Patients with RVI in AIMI had more admission hyperglycaemia (268.80 ± 81.88 mg/dl vs. 219.80 ± 98.40 mg/dl, P value = 0.003), less incidence of complete ST elevation resolution (STR) (60.8% vs. 80.6%, p value = 0.032), more arrhythmic complications (3rd heart block [HB]: 6.7% vs. 0.0%, p value = 0.042, atrial fibrillation [AF]: 10.0% vs. 2.0%, p value = 0.036). Conclusions: Patients with RVI in AIMI had worse in-hospital outcome than patients without RVI in the form of more admission hyperglycemia, less incidence of complete STR and more arrhythmic complications.
