Figure 2 Analysis of Regional Wall Motion With 64-Slice MDCT

(A) Short-axis reconstruction in end diastole. (B) Short-axis reconstruction in end systole. Akinesia and thinning of the myocardium is observed in the lateral wall (black arrows). In addition, hypoattenuation (dark endocardial rim) corresponding to previous myocardial infarction is present in this region. Quantification of left ventricular volumes reveals severely reduced left ventricular systolic function (LVEF 28%). Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
