by Texas Heart Institute cardiologist, George Younis, MD 
Hypokinesis of the heart, in general, means that some or all of the heart is not moving (contracting) as well as it should. This type of question is very hard to answer without specifics. Typically, medications can be used to help the heart function as well as possible.
