Wall motion scoring
Figure 7-8. The stress echo analysis screen
Wall motion scoring is used to evaluate wall motion in each
cardiac segment. The left ventricle myocardium is divided into a
number of segments (e.g. 16 or 18), and each segment is
assigned a score based on visual evaluation/”eye-balling”. The
wall motion scoring results are linked to the stress level of the
image being evaluated. This means that for instance when
scoring a short axis projection and a long axis projection from
the same stress level, then common segments with the same
scoring value will be shown in the respective scoring diagrams.
NOTE: The number of segments (WMS segment model), the range of
scoring values (WMS scoring legend) and the initial scoring
1. Selected loop (highlighted frame)
2. Highlighted segment name (see pointer)

4. Display Bull’s eye diagram
The wall motion scoring result is assigned to the stress level of
the image, but will not be updated if the image is moved to
another stress level in the protocol at a later time. Images
should be correctly placed in the protocol when performing wall
motion scoring.
