摘要：

Among various echocardiographic parameters for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, an abnormal regional contraction pattern of the right ventricular free wall consisting of normokinesia of the apical segment and akinesia of the midfree wall with persistence of abnormal wall motion at the base has proved to be fairly specific for pulmonary embolism. This echocardiographic abnormality has been termed "McConnell sign." We describe the case of a patient with acute pulmonary embolism who developed reversible akinesia of the apex and right ventricular midfree wall, a finding we would like to term "reverse McConnell sign.".
