Right Ventricular Damage in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

May 23, 2011 updated by: University of Leipzig

Right Ventricular Damage in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Risk Stratification by Visualization of Wall Motion, Edema and Delayed Enhancement Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictors of right ventricular damage (RVD) assessed by wall motion abnormalities, edema, myocardial salvage and delayed enhancement (DE)cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and its prognostic significance.

The investigators hypothesize that ischemia related changes of the myocardium are also visible in the right ventricle and that they have an impact on patient outcome.
