Myocardial segments

In the long axis, the left ventricle is divided into equal thirds named the basal, mid and apical thirds. The tip of the apex forms a separate final segment. When these thirds are viewed in short axis they form rings that are numbered counterclockwise which can be further divided into equal sectors:

Rhe basal third has six 60° sectors
basal anterior (segment 1)
basal anteroseptal (segment 2)
basal inferoseptal (segment 3)
basal inferior (segment 4)
basal inferolateral (segment 5)
basal anterolateral (segment 6)
