An acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI) is most commonly caused by an occlusion of the right coronary artery, which supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle and the right ventricle in most people. When the right ventricle is involved in the infarction, it can lead to right ventricular dysfunction, which severely impairs the heart's ability to pump blood to the lungs and subsequently to the rest of the body. This results in acute and progressive hemodynamic collapse and cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is the most common cause of death in patients with acute MI.
