RT, 42 year old man • BIBA following OOHCA • Collateral from wife • Driving, c/o headache, chest and bilateral arm pain • LOC, shaking • PMHx: PUD, cannabis smoking, coryzal symptoms
10-15 minutes downtime • CPR • V Fib • Shocked x 13 • Adrenaline x 5, Amiodarone 300mg, MgSO4 • ROSC 45 minutes after CPR was commenced
Echo • Globally reduced LV and RV function • EF 30-35% • No definite RWMA • No significant AR or AS • No effusion
Urgent Cath? • V Fib Arrest • Young, male, no significant history • Flu-like illness • No consistent ST elevation • No marked RWMA on Echo • Haemodynamically stable
Initial Management Plan • ICU • Cooling • DAPT, LMWH • Amiodarone infusion • Coronary Angiogram
ICU • Pressors not required initially • Induced Hypothermia 72Hrs • Troponin I: 8.17, 10.48 (<0.06) • CK 5670 (0-210) • Pulmonary oedema • Co-amoxiclav, clarithromycin, oseltamivir • Influenza A/H3 on throat swab • Extubated 3 days later
PCI? • ICD?
PCI • Right guide SH • Sian and Sian blue wires to RCA and RV branch • Pre dilated with Emerge balloon dilation catheter • 2.5x20mm Promus PREMIER™ Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent placed in main RCA • Post dilated with kissing balloons for RV branch protection
V Tachyarrhythmias occurring in first 24-48hrs do not imply continuing risk over time • Primary therapy should be coronary revascularisation
ICD? • No further VT as inpatient • CMR • No LV inducible ischaemia • No LV scar • Culprit lesion revacsularised
Follow Up • Discharged with some memory issues • OPD March • NRH assessment • Cardiac Rehab • Repeat CMR • Reassess for ICD

RVMI • Malignant ventricular arrhythmias occurred in up to 38% of patients and tended to be associated with larger infarct size (measured by peak CPK). • Concomitant RVMI occurs in 30–50% of cases of patients with acute inferior MI • Isolated right ventricular infarction accounts for less than 3% of all cases of infarction. Ricci, S.R. Dukkipati, M.C. Pica, D.E. Haines, J.A.

Diagnosis • Clinical signs • ECG • Echo
CMR • DE-CMR more sensitively identifies RVMI in patients presenting with acute inferior MI than • ECG • physical exam • echocardiography A. Kumar, H. Abdel-Aty, I. Kriedemann, J. Schulz-Menger, C.M. Gross, R. Dietz, M.G. Friedrich Contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging of right ventricular infarction J Am CollCardiol, 48 (10) (2006), pp. 1969–1976
Conclusion • Isolated RVMI relatively rare presentation • Non-Dominant RCA lesions not benign & innocuous • Value of CMRI • Limited data on value of AICD

CMR • LV: normal size, volume, function. • RV: increased ESV & hypokinesis of the inferior & anterior walls at the base & mid segments with mildly reduced global systolic function, EF 40% • Perfusion: Evidence of matched/fixed perfusion defects in septum & inferoseptum from mid wall to base • Tissue: mild oedema in basal segments of the RV anterior & inferior wall on dark blood T2 weighted STIR images. DE- abnormal signal in basal & mid segments of inferior and anterior wall of RV, indication infarction.
