Dr. Clarence Grim answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

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.
