Abstract
Regional right ventricular dysfunction with akinesia of the mid-free wall with normal apical motion known as McConnell's sign is an under-reported echocardiographic finding in the setting of pulmonary embolism. We conducted a literature review and systematic analysis, while describing 2 cases of pulmonary embolism with findings of reverse McConnell's sign.
