Abstract: Background & Objective: Myocardial infarction is decreased or complete stoppage of blood to a part of the myocardium. The 65th WHA raised to act on NCD deaths and fixed a target of 25% reduction in the premature deaths due to the non - communicable diseases by 2025. We assessed 1. Echocardiographic parameters of RV in proximal RCA lesion in patients with IWMI.2. the usefulness and association of these parameters in predicting IWMI patients with proximal RCA lesion. Material and Methods: We did a cross - sectional study in patients with IWMI. Convenience sampling was followed. The study duration was six months from July 2022 to December 2022. Results: The results of the study showed that non - smokers had more proximal lesion 30 (77%) in the RCA as compared to non - smokers 16 (48%) which is statistically significant. Peak systolic velocity (9.84 Vs 10.54) and ejection time (221 Vs 267) were less in the proximal group while isovolumic relaxation time (86 Vs 67), isovolumic contraction time (81 Vs 62) and myocardial performance index (0.57 Vs 0.37) were more in the proximal group and the difference is statistically significant. Conclusion: Echocardiographic parameters Sm, ET, IVRT, IVCT and MPI are useful parameters in predicting proximal RCA lesion.
