Solution

A myocardial infarction of the right ventricle could be caused by a blockage in the posterior interventricular artery. This artery, also known as the posterior descending artery, supplies blood to the posterior 1/3 of the interventricular septum and the posterior walls of the ventricles, including the right ventricle. Therefore, a blockage in this artery could potentially lead to a myocardial infarction (heart attack) in the right ventricle.
