Overview
Left ventricular function and wall motion abnormalities can be assessed promptly by using an echocardiogram. It can also be used to exclude other possible cardiac causes of chest pain such as aortic stenosis and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Valvular or mechanical complications from MI warrant an immediate transesophageal echocardiography.
Echocardiography
Segmental wall motion abnormalities can occur within minutes of coronary artery occlusion and can be useful in establishing that the pain is of cardiac origin, and in determining the myocardial territory that is at risk.
Below is a video which shows reduced wall motion in mid anterio-septal region which could be due to occlusion in left anterior descending artery or its branches: {{#ev:youtube|QTAK_5tA4dw}}
