What is severe global hypokinesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart don't squeeze.: I suspect you are talking about a cardiac echo. Global hypokinesis means that the heart as a whole is contracting less well than would be expected. This could be the result of a cardiomyopathy, severe multivessel disease or any one of a number of metabolic or infectious causes. Best to see the one who ordered the test.
