Segmental wall motion abnormalities are common in patients with myocarditis. Left ventricular (LV) regional wall motion was assessed in six patients with myocarditis by two-dimensional echocardiography. Some of our patients demonstrated regional thinning of the wall, similar to myocardial infarction. Therefore, segmental wall motion abnormalities with or without regional wall thinning detected by two-dimensional echocardiography cannot be used to differentiate myocarditis from coronary artery disease. Nevertheless, echocardiography can be performed repeatedly and is useful for evaluating the severity of myocarditis by assessing LV regional wall motion abnormalities, changes in LV wall thickness and cardiac pump function during the course of the disease.
节段性室壁运动异常在心肌炎患者中很常见。通过二维超声心动图对6例心肌炎患者的左心室（LV）局部室壁运动进行了评估。我们的一些患者表现出室壁局部变薄，类似于心肌梗死。因此，二维超声心动图检测到的伴有或不伴有局部室壁变薄的节段性室壁运动异常不能用于区分心肌炎和冠状动脉疾病。尽管如此，超声心动图可以重复进行，并且通过评估疾病过程中左心室局部室壁运动异常、左心室壁厚度变化和心脏泵功能，对评估心肌炎的严重程度很有用。
