On the 95th anniversary of the first description of right ventricular myocardial infarction
Abstract
An analysis of the publication of the outstanding Russian therapist and cardiologist D.D. Pletnev (18711941) is given in the article. In 1925, he published an article On the issue of lifetime differential diagnosis of right and left coronary artery thrombosis in the journal Russian Clinics in Russian and German languages. Timely diagnosis of right myocardial infarction determines the prognosis and treatment tactics of this disease, and the case itself has a priority for the Russian science. The authors emphasize the outstanding talent of D.D. Pletnev as a physician and scientist, whose name is associated with the emergence of one of the most brilliant therapeutic schools (A.L. Myasnikov, E.I. Chazov, etc.).
