Figure 2 (A) Example of wall motion in an akinetic segment. (B) Example of postsystolic shortening with motion of the LV wall to a position inside the end diastolic contour. (C) Example of dyskinetic wall motion: inward motion during diastole brings the wall back towards but not within the end diastolic contour. ED = end diastole to end diastole; ES = end systole; LV = left ventricle. Solid line = patient’s motion; dashed line = mean motion of the normal group; dotted line = one standard deviation above and below the normal mean. The segment number is displayed.
