“Heart attack BEFORE ECG changes? ⚠️ RWMA can expose it FIRST!” RWMA (Regional Wall Motion Abnormality) 🔍 What is RWMA? Regional Wall Motion Abnormality means a specific segment of the left ventricle is not contracting properly, usually due to reduced blood supply. 👉 Detected using Echocardiography ⚡ Why RWMA matters (clinically powerful) 🚨 EARLY sign of ischemia (even before ECG changes) 🎯 Helps identify the culprit coronary artery 📉 Predicts LV dysfunction & prognosis 🧭 Guides urgent decisions like Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting 🫀 Types of Wall Motion Abnormalities ✅ Normal – uniform contraction 🟡 Hypokinesia – reduced movement 🔴 Akinesia – no movement ⚠️ Dyskinesia – paradoxical outward movement 💣 Aneurysmal segment – thinned, bulging wall. #RWMA #CardiologyDecoded #EchoCardiography #HeartAttackSigns #instagram

🫀 LV 17 Segment Model – Must Know for Echo! The Left Ventricle (LV) is divided into 17 segments as per the American Heart Association model — essential for wall motion analysis & coronary correlation. 🔴 Basal Level (6 segments) (Nearest to mitral valve) • Anterior • Anteroseptal • Inferoseptal • Inferior • Inferolateral • Anterolateral 🟠 Mid Level (6 segments) • Anterior • Anteroseptal • Inferoseptal • Inferior • Inferolateral • Anterolateral 🟡 Apical Level (4 segments) • Anterior • Septal • Inferior • Lateral 🔵 Apex (1 segment) • True Apex (Apical Cap) 🧠 Clinical Correlation ✔ LAD → Anterior + Septal + Apex ✔ LCX → Lateral wall ✔ RCA → Inferior wall 💡 Quick Trick: 👉 6 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 17 Segments 📌 Why Important? ✔ Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities (RWMA) ✔ Myocardial Infarction localization ✔ Stress Echo interpretation #EchoDxHub #Echocardiography #Cardiology #LVSegments #RWMA #CardiacImaging #HeartAnatomy #MedEd #EchoLearning #ClinicalCardiology

What coronary is attached to the Mid Inferior wall here?!! Drop a comment below if you think you know ⬇️ Regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) describe kinetic alterations in the myocardium throughout the cardiac cycle and impact function🦾 Cardiac wall motion abnormalities can be classified based on their severity and distribution, distinguishing between global or segmental patterns, and whether they correspond to a coronary artery territory or follow a non-coronary distribution👍 Scan with more confidence and educate your patients to improve timely management ➡️ Join The Echo Journal (link in our bio) #echocardiography #echocardiogram

🫀 " What do you think? LV Thrombus or Intramyocardial Hematoma." 🩸 👨‍⚕ Patient Profile: o 40-year-old male with a history of hypertension. o Presented with dyspnea on exertion (DOE), NYHA class III. • 🩺 Key Echocardiographic Findings: o Large mass at the LV apex with central lucency 🌀. o Regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) detected 📉. o Severely reduced LVEF: 19% ❗. • 🧐 Diagnostic Dilemma: o Possible LV thrombus 🧊 due to stasis and low EF. o Suspicion of intramyocardial dissection hematoma 🩸, a rare complication. o Central lucency suggests liquefaction necrosis or hemorrhagic transformation. • ⚖ Why It Matters: o LV thrombus ➡ Risk of systemic embolization, requires anticoagulation 🩹. o Intramyocardial hematoma ➡ Potentially catastrophic, may need surgical intervention 🚨. #Echo #intramyocardial #LV #Thrombus #diagnosis #echosingh #prime

Types of Cardiac output (ejection fraction) Up video: normal ejection fraction Middle: Heart attack (rwma +)this isn't good😑 And down video: dilated cardiomyopathy (poor Ejection fraction)tired heart 😅 Video shared by Dr Nagendra thalor 🙏

This 78-year-old male with known CAD, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus now presents with new-onset exertional dyspnea, easy fatigability, and sweating, which is a high-risk presentation given his background. His previous evaluation shows: • LVEF ~35% (HFrEF) • RWMA positive → ischemic cardiomyopathy • Mild MR and TR • Prior chest pain managed conservatively #ecg #ekg #views

65year old female presented with Giddiness followed syncope .ECG showing Complete heart block Immediate TPI was inserted and patient doing well,Echo No RWMA with Moderate TR/PAH ,Normal LV systolic function ,LVEF-54%.High sensitive TROP I was positive.Patient rythm after 4 days of TPI is still in CHB.Hence,Decision taken to do CAG followed Permanent pacemaker implantation.Interestingly CAG showed coronary cameral fistula draining into Right ventricle from RCA.Later successful PPI VVIR implantation done.Advised Transcatheter coil or vascular plug during follow up .Mostly coil may be used in this case as it is more tortous than linear #heart #heartmemes #heartattacksurvivor #coil
