A regional wall motion index has been derived from two-dimensional echocardiograms by
use of a 16-segment model that was subdivided into anterior (nine segments) and infero …

The analog presentation of the echocardiogram was used to record left ventricular posterior
wall motion in 19 patients given vasoactive drugs at the time of cardiac catheterization. In 13 …

The left ventricular (LV) wall motion was assessed in 66 patients with ischemic heart disease
and other diseases by means of real-time, phased-array, cross-sectional echocardiography …

Seventeen severely ill patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)(12 men and 5 women;
mean age 65) and 37 healthy persons with similar age and sex distribution were …

To study regional wall motion early in the development of acute myocardial infarction, left
ventriculograms performed in 24 patients before thrombolysis and within 3.5 (1.2)(mean …

Abnormal left ventricular wall movement during isovolumic contraction and early relaxation
was assessed from simultaneous apex and echocardiograms in 50 patients with ischaemic …

Echocardiography can display motion abnormalities of acutely or chronically ischemic
myocardium. In experimental studies, this permits the evaluation of the effect on regional …

Because no accurate and readily applied method exists for continuous recording of left
ventricular cavity dimensions and wall motion in man, we designed a catheter‐mounted …

Using an experimental canine model, we have employed echocardiography to study
segmental dyskinesis produced by acute coronary occlusion. Characteristic alterations in …
