Left ventricular ejection fraction was 30% with anteroseptal wall motion abnormality. (B) Echocardiogram showing trivial mitral regurgitation after single dose of intravenous steroids on day 6 of hospitalization. Left ventricular ejection fraction was 55% with normal regional wall motion. The American Journal of Medicine  , e223-e226DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
