This Study aims to provide an assessment of clinical presentation, management, hospital course, and prognosis of acute right ventricular infarction presenting with or without Inferior or infero-posterior wall Myocardial Infarction and the assessment of composite adverse clinical outcome after reperfusion in-hospital and post-discharge (in 30 Days Prognosis).

All the recruited patients will be kept under observiton during the hospital stay and a telephonic follow-up will be carried out after 30-days of discharge and occurrence of the MACE will be recorded.

Univariate and multivariable binary logistic regression analysis will be performed to determine the clinical predictors of RVI. Odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence interval (CI) will be reported. The statistical significance criteria will be set as p-value<0.05.

For data verification, 10% of the data will be cross-checked with the source document (Patient file).
