Abnormal septal motion refers to an atypical movement of the interventricular septum, the wall dividing the left and right ventricles of the heart, during the cardiac cycle. This condition can occur in various Heart diseases, particularly ischemic Heart disease, and is often assessed using echocardiography. It may indicate underlying issues such as left ventricular dysfunction or pressure overload, leading to impaired heart function. Identifying abnormal septal motion can help guide diagnosis and treatment in patients with cardiovascular conditions.

What does an abnormal septal wall motion mean?
Abnormal septal wall motion typically indicates a structural or functional abnormality in the heart. This could be due to conditions such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), cardiomyopathy, or valvular heart disease. It is important to further evaluate the cause of the abnormality and its implications for the heart's overall function and health.
What is treatment for anteroseptal hypokinesis?
Front middle wall of the heart not moving too well. Might lead to a mild heart attack.
What is the most common type of atrial septal defect?
occurs in the middle of the atrial septum and accounts for about 70% of all atrial septal defects. Abnormal openings can form in the upper and lower parts of the atrial septum as well.
When do symptoms of an atrial septal defect begin to occur?
People born with an atrial septal defect can have no symptoms through their twenties, but by age 40, most people with this condition have symptoms that can include shortness of breath, rapid abnormal beating of the atria
When do atrial septal defects occur?
Abnormal openings in the atrial septum occur during fetal development and are twice as common in females as in males. These abnormalities can go unnoticed if the opening is small, producing no abnormal symptoms
Congenital septal defects are holes that form in the septum during the embryonic development of the heart---resulting in the abnormal flow of blood from?
the left side of the heart to the right
How is a ventricular septal defect different from an atrial septal defect?
Ventricular septal defect affects the ventricles common in babies with down syndrome while atrial septal defect is affecting the atrium.
What conditions can be revealed by cardiac catheterization?
enlargement of the left ventricle; ventricular aneurysms (abnormal dilation of a blood vessel); narrowing of the aortic valve; insufficiency of the aortic or mitral valve; and septal defects
What are septal defects?
hearts with septal defects (holes between pumping chambers)
How can motion cause the formation of a bunion?
Bunions may form as a result of abnormal motion of the foot during walking or running.
How can atrial septal defects be identified?
Abnormal changes in the sound of the heart beats can be heard when a doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope. In addition, a chest x ray, an electrocardiogram (ECG, an electrical printout of the heartbeats), and an echocardiogram
What anatomical features are on the heart's septal wall?
The heart's septal wall is called the interatrial septum. The anatomical feature of the heart's septal wall is a crescent-shaped piece of tissue.
