About Video

This video clip shows akinesis in the apex and apical anterior wall. The low-dose show increased contractility throughout the myocardium except in the apex and apical anterior wall. At peak stress, no new wall motion abnormalities were observed with persistent akinesis, which is consistent with nonviable tissue. This study is consistent with scar in the apex and apical anterior wall without any significant ischemia. (LV: Left ventricle; RV: Right ventricle).
