LOINC description : Left ventricular (LV) segmental wall motion (SWM) is used to evaluate LV function.
Each segment corresponds to a specific perfusion territory and is evaluated independently.
A 17-segment model is usually used for LV function in general; however, the 17th segment
(the cardiac apex or apical cap) is typically not included in wall motion studies.
Wall motion can be described as normal or hyperkinetic, hypokinetic, dyskinetic, and
akinetic. [PMID: 25559473] This LOINC panel contains terms to report the SWM for the
16 segments as described above, as well as additional segments that may be included
depending on local practices.;
