A member asked:
Can mild hypokinesis of the left ventricle be a normal variant for some people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By definition, if: Called mild hypokinesis, then it is abnormally decreased left ventricle wall motion. There is a range of normal, based on visual inspection, heart size and experience, but when the wall motion is less than expected, it is hypokinetic. Mild hypokinesis generally means nearly normal, but it is not a normal variant.
