Question 1

ef 60%, lvsf low normal. apical and anterior hypokinesis cannot be excluded. minimal mr and trace ar. mild tr, mild pr. is this concerning?

Accepted Answer

2 things: 1. A relatively normal EF bit with possibly some focal hypokinesis may suggest ischemic heart disease. 2.  The other reported findings on your heart valves are pretty benign.

Question 2

mild fixed perfusion deficit in the distal  anterior/anteroapical wall. mildly enlarged left ventricle. mild global hypokinesis, with moderate hypokinesis of the inferior and apical walls. mildly low resting left ventricular ef of 45% post test 51%?

Accepted Answer

What's the question?: This result indicates a blockage with resultant heart muscle damage (prior heart attack) likely involving an artery known as the "LAD".  In this particular case the LAD is likely large with a "wrap around" to the apical inferior region.  A cardiac catheterization would be recommended to visualize the coronary arteries followed by possible stenting if the area is "viable" and not scarred

Question 3

what does the diagnosis anterior and septal wall severe hypokinesis mean?

Accepted Answer

Wall hypokinesis: I assume your are talking about your heart.  It means that these parts of your heart are not squeezing well when it beats. Can be due to an old heart attack to that area of your heart. Discuss with your team as they have much more information that you sent us.

Question 4

my godson has been diagnosed with mild right apical hypokinesis. how is this caused and how can this be treated?

Accepted Answer

How old is he?: We need more history. Was he symptomatic / or a casual observation. Apical hypokinesis is decresed participation of apex of heart in the contractile fn.And the weakness of muscles could be from congenital weakness, poor blood supply from narrowed coronary vs. Without a heart attack/  silent heart attack/a obviously diagnosed heart attack, some infiltrative diseases- amyloidosis.Get a cardiolo.Opin.

Question 5

how do you treat mild septal hypokinesis?

Accepted Answer

May not: Require therapy. This just means the wall of the heart between the pumping chambers may not be functioning perfectly. If the rest of the heart is ok probably not a concern.

Question 6

is it normal to have mild global hypokinesis at 19 years old?

Accepted Answer

NO: That's not normal but often resolves over time - I assume you're on medical treatment and have been evaluated.  Mild forms of dilated cardiomyopathy are often transient. You should be under the care of a cardiologist and have your test (echo, I assume) repeated in 6 months.  Good luck!

Question 7

what is mild to moderate global hypokinesis of the left ventricle?

Accepted Answer

Cardiomyopathy: Loss of heart muscle strength in the main pump of the heart. Most commonly from poor blood flow/heart attack/ cholesterol.

Question 8

how symptomatic is someone with mild global hypokinesis of left ventricle?

Accepted Answer

Heart failure: Mild global hypokinesis refers to heart function where higher is better. Less than 50% is typically referred to as heart failure. However, there might be no symptoms noted especially if patient is sedentary. We traditionally use New York Heart Association classification to describe heart failure. Check out http://goo.gl/Q5EAPp for more info. Best to follow up w/Family Doc &amp; Cardiologist for care

Question 9

can mild hypokinesis of the left ventricle be a normal variant for some people?

Accepted Answer

By definition, if: Called mild hypokinesis, then it is abnormally decreased left ventricle wall motion.

There is a range of normal, based on visual inspection, heart size and experience, but when the wall motion is less than expected, it is hypokinetic.  Mild hypokinesis generally means nearly normal, but it is not a normal variant.

Question 10

mild left ventricular systolic dysfunctionleft ventricular ejection fraction 40 % with global left ventricular hypokinesis,myxomatousmorphology mv?

Accepted Answer

Heart: With this diagnosis you need to be under the supervision of a cardiologist and follow his advice.
