🫀 LCX Territory – Hypokinesia on Echocardiography 🔍 What It Means: ➥ Hypokinesia refers to reduced wall motion and thickening during systole. ➥ When it involves the LCX (Left Circumflex Artery) territory, it suggests that the posterolateral or lateral walls of the left ventricle are not contracting properly. 📍 LCX Supplies: Lateral wall (mid and basal segments) Posterolateral wall In some individuals, inferolateral segments (especially if LCX is dominant) 📐 Echo Views to Detect It: ✅ Apical

🫀 3CH View – Hypokinesia of Anterior and Anteroseptum Segments 🔍 What It Shows: The apical 3-chamber view (also called PLAX-like view from the apex) lets you visualize: ✅ Left ventricular anterior wall ✅ Anteroseptum ✅ Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) ✅ Aorta and mitral valve ➥ Hypokinesia here means the anterior and anteroseptal segments move weakly during contraction. 📐 How Hypokinesia Appears: ➥ The affected segments fail to shorten or move inward adequately during systole. ➥ There is
