Right ventricular regional wall motion abnormality

MedGen UID:
1052471
•Concept ID:
CN377494
•
Finding
HPO: HP:6000664

Definition

The occurrence of abnormal or absent contractility of a region of the heart muscle of the right ventricule. Conventional assessment of RWMA is based on visual interpretation of endocardial excursion and myocardial thickening from the echocardiogram videos. [from HPO]
