Total wall motion score is 1.18. hypokinesis of the basal to mid anteroseptal wall. hypokinesis of the mid inferoseptal wall. the remaining left ventricular segments demonstrate normal wall motion. ef 47%. is this score terrible?

Your wall motion score of 1:18 is mildly abnormal as is your LVEF of 47%. There is weakness of contraction of left ventricular muscle in 3 areas. Possible causes are damage from coronary blockages with subsequent myocardial infarction or thickening of the wall of the ventricle in those areas. There is either ischemic cardiomyopathy or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. The cardiologist will order tests
