ClinicalCardiac left ventricular segmental wall motion by echo panel
Definition
Left ventricular (LV) segmental wall motion (SWM) is used to evaluate LV function. Each segment corresponds to a specific perfusion territory and is evaluated independently. A 17-segment model is usually used for LV function in general; however, the 17th segment (the cardiac apex or apical cap) is typically not included in wall motion studies. Wall motion can be described as normal or hyperkinetic, hypokinetic, dyskinetic, and akinetic. [PMID: 25559473] This LOINC panel contains terms to report the SWM for the 16 segments as described above, as well as additional segments that may be included depending on local practices.
