Figures & Tables

Video 1

Echocardiography left ventricle (LV) 4-chamber view shows mildly enlarged LV size with apical and septal regional wall motion abnormalities; see also at https://youtu.be/y6DVTtyomQc.

Figure 1

(A) Positron emission tomography cardiac images horizontal and vertical long axis shows a medium-sized severe fixed defect in the distal anterior, lateral, inferior, and septal segments and apex. (B) Cardiac computed tomography angiography 3-dimensional reconstruction shows coronary arteries without stenosis. Cardiac positron emission tomography myocardial blood flow/myocardial flow reserve (MFR) for the coronaries shows normal MFR. (C) Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging shows no evidence of myocardial infarction or scar.

Video 2

Steady-state free precession cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging shows normal left ventricle size and systolic function with mild regional wall motion abnormalities in the apical/apical septal segments; https://youtu.be/gD6p9J_3euU.
