[The infarction of the right ventricle and the connections with coronary sclerosis and chronic cor pulmonale (author's transl)]. 1976

E Bahrmann, and H J Kleinschmidt, and W Rahn

The infarction of the right ventricle as a spatial and temporal mosaic-infarct and the lesions following it were investigated. Its frequency and its connections with the infarction of the left ventricle, coronary sclerosis and hypertrophy of the right ventricle as cor mitrale and cor pulmonale were reported, treated on 11 073 post-mortem examinations of adults separated in males and females. Three groups were divided: 1. isolated lesions of the right ventricle 2. separated lesions--spatially and/or temporally of the right and left ventricle 3. lesions overlapping from the left on the right ventricle. The infarct of the right ventricle respectively cicatrices were observed in 1.2%. The coronary sclerosis was detected in all cases, and specially the hypertrophy of the right ventricle as cor pulmonale or cor mitrale were important for the pathogenesis of right-cardiac infarcts. The pulmonary embolism was more frequent in isolated infarcts of the right ventricle.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed).

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
