Isolated right ventricular infarction.
The literature on isolated right ventricular infarction is reviewed and local experience is reported. Chronic lung disease is an important risk factor. Chest pain and breathlessness are common. Syncope and sudden collapse can also occur. Rhythm disorders include sinus bradycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Atrioventricular block is rare. Hypotension and a right-sided fourth heart sound are common. Cautious use of slow-release nitroglycerin is not hazardous in the absence of hypotension. High doses of steroids and anticoagulants can be helpful. The prognosis is usually good, although sudden collapse can occur due to ventricular fibrillation, rupture of the right ventricular free wall or massive pulmonary embolism.

Gross tricuspid incompetence due to isolated tricuspid valve prolapse.
We report a case of isolated prolapse of the tricuspid valve producing gross incompetence as documented by Doppler examination. This case shows that hemodynamically significant tricuspid regurgitation can occur from isolated prolapse of valvar leaflets.

Electrocardiographic correlates of hyperglycemia in acute myocardial infarction.
Clinical, biochemical and electrocardiographic parameters were studied in 10 patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction with hyperglycemia (but normal glycosylated hemoglobin), and 15 age- and sex-matched patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction without hyperglycemia. The magnitude of hyperglycemia correlated with the site and extent of the infarct, the magnitude of ST-segment elevation and the levels of 17-ketosteroids in the urine.
