The septum doesn't have the same need for flexibility as the heart walls and as a result hypokinesis of the septum doesn't effect the hearts ability to adequately pump blood into circulation. The problem, if any, would be obstruction to the pathway of electrical impulses.
A stress test will help disclose any vessel blockage that could cause heart cell damage. A stress test may be helpful to distinquish and assess the status of the septum and the underlying cause.
Thank you for the response. It was suggested that I follow up with a nuclear stress test. I have no other symptoms and only had the echo because I had experienced a panic attack after the loss of a family member. My blood presure is 102/69 my cholesterol was 108 and my weight 113 for 5'6. I walk 3 times a day at a brisk pace. I am considering following up with the stress test.
The septal is the wall that separates the left and right chambers of the heart. Anteroseptal is the location of an impairment (hypokinetic means movement impairment) usually due to heart muscle damage caused by ischemia (lack of blood flow) to the area described.
Or it could be the impairment is due to a congenital defect (longer membranous proximal septum). One of the most common congenital abnormalities of the human heart is a defect. It is of considerable clinical importance as it is the area for the cardiac conduction system (pathway for electrical impulses to regulate heart rate).
