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. <youtube v=QTAK_5tA4dw/>
