Score* | Wall motion | Definition |
---|---|---|
*The score for each segment is divided by the number of segments visualised to obtain the wall motion score index. | ||
0 | Hyperkinetic | Increased endocardial inward movement and systolic wall thickening |
1 | Normal | Normal endocardial inward movement and systolic wall thickening |
2 | Hypokinetic | Reduced endocardial inward movement and systolic wall thickening |
3 | Akinetic | Absence of endocardial inward movement; no systolic wall thickening |
4 | Dyskinetic | Outward wall movement in systole with absent wall thickening; often associated with myocardial thinning and fibrosis |
