Overview
Physical Examination
- Patients with hemodynamically significant right ventricular infarction typically present with:
- Hypotension
- Jugular vein distention
- Shock
- Clear lung fields
- Valvular insufficiency can also occur, leading to tricuspid regurgitation.
- These findings are in contrast to the frequent pulmonary congestion, third or fourth heart sounds, and mitral regurgitation with left ventricular infarcts.
