Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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 2

Heart attack lv septal and anterior wall 10 weeks ago. ef went from 25 to 50, hypokinesis severe to moderate. could they normalize eventually?

Accepted Answer

But likely some scar and slight residual.
Stay with the good choices, nonsmoking, cardiac rehab, and your meds.
Followup with echo at z6 months likely.

Question 3

I recently had a stress test and the only thing noted was lv wall motion: moderate septal hypokinesis. is this something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Talk with your cardiologist -- you may need a heart cath.

Question 4

How do you treat mild septal hypokinesis?

Accepted Answer

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 5

Stress test: : ejection fraction of 52% . there is some mild hypokinesis in the infero-septal region. no reversible ischemia.
what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Hypokinesis could indicate an area of old heart muscle damage or scar but the study showed no significant blockage of your coronary arteries which cause any problem at this time. Your ejection fraction is slightly reduced which may also indicate some old damage. Does your resting EKG show old scar? The cardiologist can best advise you of your findings, current cardiac status and proper care.

Question 6

I had an echodardiogram, and stress test done results-ejection spect, septal hypokinesis, regurg are any of these serious?

Accepted Answer

The seriousness of your echo results depends on the amount of regurgitation and reduced septal movement noted -- but even unquantified, these are not normal results.  For more comprehensive answers to your questions, please discuss with your cardiologist.  Also, normal cardiac ejection fraction is 55%-70% -- and you've listed yours as 43% in your additional clinical findings.  Be well.

Question 7

Chest pains. echo scan = septal hypokinesis. hr 138 bp 138/90. ambulance to a&e. doc says possible pericarditis. a&e says muscular skelelightous.

Accepted Answer

Pericarditis should not result in septal hypokinesis by echo. You may have myopericarditis (involvement of the heart muscle and the coverings of the heart), or  a false-positive finding by echo (sometimes it looks like hypokinesis but it is actually not). Pulse rate is high but does happen with chest pain or discomfort. Your age makes coronary (heart disease) unlikely. You need to see a heart doc!

Question 8

Unspecific septal hypokinesis on a scintigraphy can be false-pos?
all other exams  (echo, stress,  holter, ekg) came normal. i'm 22yo w/ chest pains.

Accepted Answer

Septum is common wall to RT&LFT ventricle. In sinus rhythm (Holter nl) both Rt&Left Ventricle beat ess at same time. Sept moves sltly towards left, but mostlty THICKENS. The other walls more towards septum. More Import is LVEF (Eject Frction). No study perfect. Nl for scintigraphy is LVEF>50% (55%. Many beats averaged in both. All Sept R sl. hypo.

Question 9

My dad has a subtle inferior wall hypokinesis does he have to take any precautions.

Accepted Answer

that's up to the treating cardiologist, whether to have a diagnostic coronary arteries catheterization or not, and whether to start prophylactic medications, in addition to control of other diseases if present: diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol, wish you both wellness

Question 10

Interpretation
abnormal stress echocardiogram
inferior wall hypokinesis with stress?

Accepted Answer

Stress induced wall motion abnormality is concerning for significant narrowing of the coronary artery which feeds the inferior wall of the heart. This is most commonly the right coronary artery.
