Question 1

total wall motion score is 1.18. hypokinesis of the basal to mid anteroseptal wall. hypokinesis of the mid inferoseptal wall. the remaining left ventricular segments demonstrate normal wall motion. ef 47%. is this score terrible?

Accepted Answer

: Your wall motion score of 1:18 is mildly abnormal as is your LVEF of 47%. There is weakness of contraction of left ventricular muscle in 3 areas. Possible causes are damage from coronary blockages with subsequent myocardial infarction or thickening of the wall of the ventricle in those areas. There is either ischemic cardiomyopathy or nonischemic  cardiomyopathy. The cardiologist will order tests

Question 2

what is hypokinesis of the inferior -anteroseptal myocardium?

Accepted Answer

Hypokinesis: Hypokinesis means decreased wall motion/shortening of the wall named inferior, anterior or lateral.

Question 3

echo stress test shows "severe hypokinesis of the mid and distal anteroseptal segments".  what is this?

Accepted Answer

Part : Actually a lot of the part that divides the chambers isnot moving properly . It has been damaged it does not show if the damage is permanent or not. That would be a  question for  your carsiologist

Question 4

can you tell me what reversible ischemia in the basal and mid inferior walls of the heart means please?

Accepted Answer

"Significant" block: Infer you have had an imaging study, using exercise or a pharmacologic agent to induce or provoke ischemia, and then using an imaging agent like a radioactive tracer, to show blood flow distribution. Subtracting a resting image from the "stress" image shows what areas have inadequate blood flow.  Since the blood comes from the coronary arteries, a reversible image implies partial, not total, block.

Question 5

lvef 41% at stress.reversible ischemia involving apicoanterior, distal anteroseptal..reduced, non reversible perfusion involving the mid basal.means?

Accepted Answer

Injury/ Ischemia: Those results indicate an area of scar or u perfumed area in mid basal probably indicating some prior damage to heart. Of more concern is area of reversible ischemia which may indicate blockage in the the LAD distribution of the coronaries. Would discuss catheterization and possible intervention with your doctors to preserve as much LV function as possible, soon!

Question 6

normal lv size with hypokinesis of the basal segments of anterior, inferior and inferior septum, otherwise preserved global systolic function &  ef 56?

Accepted Answer

The main: Pumping chamber is not enlarged. Focal area of the muscle dividing right and left not contracting normally. Per beat the heart is ejecting a normal percentage of blood volume.

Question 7

what is basal septum hypokinesis of the heart?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Hypokinesis means abnormally low contraction and wall motion of the segment of the heart. The greater the number of left ventriculuar wall segments with hypokinesis, the worse the overall heart function is, and the greater the chance of developing heart failure and premature death.

Question 8

myocardial. medium perfusion defect moderate intensity in basal mid inferior basal inferior partial reversibility. ef54%. tid .97 abnormal redegenson.

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you: must have had symptoms leading to the stress test. It is positive from your description. The next step is a heart cath. See a health care professional for evaluation and treatment as soon as possible.

Question 9

what is basal septum hypokinesis of the heart? how serious is it?

Accepted Answer

Hypokinesis: We describe the motion of the heart walls in terms descriptive of the motion and the location. Basal septum being described as hypokinetic in the absence of any other areas of wall motion abnormality is difficult to interpret. It could suggest real abnormality or just be a phenomenon of view angle and not really be a big deal. Best to discuss with the reader of the study

Question 10

what is basal inferior hypokinesis?

Accepted Answer

Heart movement: One thing cardiologist look on a 2d echocardiogram is the heart movement. When there is an infarct or an area of the heart not receiving enough blood, the movement is slower that the rest. Hypokinesis means that: decreased movement, in this case of the inferior wall.
