All of the following are true about Right Ventricular Infarcts, Except?
Right ventricular Infarcts will cause failure of Right Ventricle resulting in systemic congestion and features of Right hea failure. Ohopnea is typically a feature of left hea failure. Hea Failure: Left Hea Failure: Left hea failure is defined as clinical syndrome where the dominant feature is fluid congestion in the lungs (pulmonary) rather than in the systemic circulation. The Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is typically elevated (increased PCWP). Right Hea Failure: Right hea failure is defined as a clinical syndrome where the dominant feature is congestion in the systemic circulation. The Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is normal (Normal PCWP) Ref: Hurst 72th Pgno: 692
