The data presented show that echocardiographically detected abnormal septal movement is frequent early after coronary bypass surgery but that these abnormalities decrease in many patients during late follow-up. Increased anterior movement of the whole heart during systole and decreased regional myocardial contraction both contribute to the septum abnormalities. However, the overall left ventricular function remains unchanged after coronary bypass surgery.
