Primary reperfusion in acute right ventricular infarction: An observational study

Figure 1 Study outline. Patients with inferior-posterior left ventricular myocardial infarction (IPLVMI) (n = 2679), with right ventricular infarction (RVI): 679 (25.3%). We risk-stratified RVI patients into 3 subsets: class A (without RVF), class B (with RVF) and class C (with cardiogenic shock). WI: Without intervention; TT: Thrombolytic therapy; PCI: Primary coronary intervention; RVF: Right ventricular failure.
