Design: Retrospective analysis of a community population. Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic value of TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) risk score analysis in patients with right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVI). Conclusions: In-hospital morbidity and mortality, and long-term mortality are increased by right ventricular infarction and can be accurately predicted by the initial TIMI risk score.Ībstract = 'Background: While right ventricular myocardial infarction is associated with increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality, prognostic risk factors for in-hospital and long-term mortality are poorly defined. Results: In-hospital morbidity (RVI: 54♹% vs non-RVI: 22♲% P4 had significantly worse long-term survival compared to those patients with RVI and TIMI score <4 (P=0♰06).

Measurement: Combined TIMI risk score analysis with in-hospital and long-term mortality. Patients: One hundred and two patients with RVI from 580 consecutive patients from Rochester, Minnesota admitted to the Coronary Care Unit with acute inferior or lateral wall myocardial infarction from January 1988 through March 1998.

Background: While right ventricular myocardial infarction is associated with increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality, prognostic risk factors for in-hospital and long-term mortality are poorly defined.
