The most frequent cause of regional wall motion abnormality is ischemic heart disease. Myocardial infarction may cause regional hypokinesia, akinesia or dyskinesia. The distribution of wall motion abnormalities should match the territory of a coronary artery.

2012年6月14日 · Regional wall motion abnormality usually suggests abnormality in the blood flow to the corresponding region of the heart muscle (myocardium). Regional wall motion abnormality on an echocardiogram is a common finding after a heart attack.

2024年8月28日 · A coronary distribution pattern of wall-motion abnormalities can be seen in the following clinical conditions: myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery disease; myocardial infarction; coronary vasospasm; A non-coronary distribution of regional wall-motion abnormalities can have a wide variety of causes including: myocarditis; Takotsubo ...

2008年7月10日 · Regional wall motion abnormality means that the motion of a region of the heart muscle is abnormal. It is a term commonly used in echocardiography (ultrasound imaging of the heart). It can also be applied to other modalities used to image motion of the cardiac structures like cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

2023年11月10日 · Regional wall motion abnormalities (WMAs) after myocardial infarction are associated with adverse remodeling and increased mortality in the short to medium term. Their long‐term prognostic impact is less well understood.

Regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) are usually described with Ischemic Heart Disease. But many other conditions also show RWMA. What are those conditions, how to recognize RWMA in them and what is it's importance is discussed.

2009年9月27日 · Echocardiography is one of the simplest investigations to assess the myocardial regional wall motion abnormalities in coronary artery disease. Regional wall motion abnormalities can also be assessed by nuclear imaging and cine CT (computerised tomography) scan / MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

Three-dimensional echocardiography is an easy, non-invasive and objective tool to detect regional wall motion abnormalities in ischemic patients. It shows comparable results with conventional 2D images with the advantage of quantitative assessment of …

In this pilot study of 50 consecutive patients with prior myocardial infarction, the results of two-dimensional echocardiographic and angiographic analysis of wall motion abnor malities were correlated, and their prognostic significance was determined. There was overall good agreement (88%) between the two methods.

2021年9月16日 · Regional wall motion abnormalities are described as focal areas of impaired myocardial contraction. In the setting of OMI, occlusion of coronary blood flow results in regional wall motion abnormalities that correlate with the affected vascular territory.
