Abstract :Right ventricular myocardial infarction is a serious emergency that causes haemodynamic disturbances as a result of sudden right ventricular systolic dysfunction and dilatation. 25% to 50% of inferior wall myocardial infarction cases are accompanied by right ventricular myocardial infarction. Atrial septal defect is a congenital anomaly that causes shunt between the atria and can cause dilatation of the right atrium and ventricle. Right ventricular myocardial infarction has been rarely reported in a patient with atrial septal defect previously. In addition, isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction was not reported in a patient with atrial septal defect. In this article, we present a 56-year-old patient with previously undiagnosed secundum atrial septal defect presenting with isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction.Keywords : Atriyal septal defekt, sağ ventrikül miyokart infarktüsü, sağ koroner arter
