What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

Key facts

Cardiac left ventricular segmental wall motion by echo panel

Segmental wall motion panel

Left ventricular (LV) segmental wall motion (SWM) is used to evaluate LV function. Each segment corresponds to a specific perfusion territory and is evaluated independently. A 17-segment model is usually used for LV function in general; however, the 17th segment (the cardiac apex or apical cap) is typically not included in wall motion studies. Wall motion can be described as normal or hyperkinetic, hypokinetic, dyskinetic, and akinetic. [PMID25559473] This LOINC panel contains terms to report the SWM for the 16 segments as described above, as well as additional segments that may be included depending on local practices.
