In current cardiology practice, the importance of acute cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) in determining the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well recognized. Certain groups of ACS patients are at higher risk of developing CRS. Data on the association between right ventricular (RV) functions and CRS after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are scarce. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the relation between RV function and the development of CRS in patients presenting with inferior wall AMI and RV involvement.
