A member asked:
My echo states: there is normal lv regional wall motion at rest, with the exception of inferior basilar hypokinesis. please explain.

U should ask your Dr: As your doctor actually sees the image, but normally if I read these words in a report it would mean to me that there has been a prior heart attack that caused the hypokinesis. this means that the inferior (lower) basilar (bottom) part of the heart is not moving as much as it is expected to move. This can be a sign of a prior heart attack.
