Figure 1.

Apical 2-chamber views taken during treadmill exercise testing, demonstrating mid to apical akinesis which develops during stress. Images A and B are taken during rest, and C and D are at peak stress, during diastole (Images A and C) and systole (Images B and D) Image D shows mid to apical akinesis, arrows indicate "hinge point" between basal hyperkinesis and mid to apical akinesis. (LV: Left ventricle).
