AB  - BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) involvement in acute left ventricular (LV) 
      myocardial infarction (MI) is frequently underestimated in the clinical setting 
      owing to the diagnostic limitations of the electrocardiogram and 
      echocardiography. OBJECTIVE: To assess RV function in patients presented with 
      first acute anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent 
      successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and factors affecting 
      it. METHODS: Forty consecutive patients with anterior STEMI who underwent 
      successful primary PCI were enrolled in the study. Presence of a coexisting 
      clinical condition that might affect RV function, patients with RV infarction or 
      those having significant stenosis (>50%) affecting RV branch or right coronary 
      artery proximal to RV branch were excluded. Echocardiography was performed during 
      the hospital stay to assess the LV and RV systolic and diastolic function with 
      special focus on tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, RV end-diastolic 
      dimension, right atrial area, RV fractional area change, and tissue 
      Doppler-derived myocardial performance index. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: RV 
      dysfunction according to our definition in the first anterior MI occurred in 
      (55%) of the study population. Independent predictors for abnormal RV function 
      were left circumflex artery mid or proximal affection, eventful procedure, 
      occurrence of no reflow, glucose level, LV end-systolic dimension, LV 
      end-diastolic dimension, and LV ejection fraction.
