Visual assessment of regional wall motion (left ventricle)

TYPE OF MOTION	DEFINITION	WALL MOTION SCORE
Normal	Normal thickening (typically >30% thickening from end-diastole to end-systole).	1
Hypokinesia	Reduced thickening (typically 10–30% thickening from end-diastole to end-systole)	2
Akinesia	Markedly reduced, or no thickening (<10%)	3
Dyskinesia	Paradoxical thinning and/or outward directed motion during systole	4
Aneurysmatic	Diastolic deformation	5

Recommended by the American Society for Echocardiography (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 18:1440-1463, 2005).

Left ventricular mass and geometry

BSA, Body surface area; LV, left ventricular; 2D, 2-dimensional.
