LOINC long common name : Left ventricle Segmental wall motion panel by Angiogram;

LOINC description : The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends assessing left ventricular wall motion
by angiography using a seven segment model with right and left anterior oblique views,
compared to the 17 segment model the AHA recommends for assessing segmental wall motion
by echocardiography. The seven segments of the left ventricle wall are as follows:
1) anterobasal wall; 2) anterolateral wall; 3) apical wall; 4) diaphragmatic or inferior
wall; 5) posterobasal wall; 6) septal wall; and 7) posterolateral wall. [PMID: 1116248]
When mapping be aware that the wall segments used in angiography are different from
those in echocardiography and we have different LOINC codes for each method.;
