Hello,
* The moderate hypokinesia means that particular region of the heart is deprived of required blood supply through coronary arteries branches.
* It is best recommended for the recent angiography evaluation of the coronary circulation to reveal any narrowing, stenosis or stent problems to cure it at earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
