This case report highlights the utility of echocardiography in identifying regional wall motion abnormalities such as paradoxical movement during acute myocardial infarction.
May aid detection of paradoxical wall motion in acute MI; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.
Echocardiography is a non-invasive method of assessing regional myocardial wall motion. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with paradoxical movement of the posterior left ventricular wall on echocardiography.
