Two-dimensional TTE, apical long-axis view in diastole (left) and systole (right), demonstrates RWMAs at the midanteroseptal and inferolateral ventricular walls (arrows).
Figure 5
Figure 5
Two-dimensional TTE, apical 2-chamber view in diastole (left) and systole (right), demonstrates RWMAs at the midanterior and inferior ventricular level walls (arrows).
