If the doctor tells you, you should ask for more details there are comments here https://www.mylifepath.com/bsc/hw/articles/hw_news_article.jhtml;jsessionid=0MHOIS3QCTD4GCTLJWGCEZIKNNGY0ITJ?_requestid=430607

This some general text from that page Quote Marked anteroapical hypokinesis is a term used in reporting the results of an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram). An echocardiogram allows a doctor to observe how well the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) ejects blood (contracts). When a heart attack damages part of the heart muscle, scar tissue replaces the injured portion. As a result, the damaged part of the heart doesn't contract normally. Doctors refer to this as hypokinesis, or abnormally decreased movement. The term anteroapical refers to the front part of the heart near the tip of the left ventricle. The more severe the damage, the less the injured parts are able to contribute to the heart's contraction. Doctors refer to this as absence of movement (akinesis). Also, scar tissue may actually move in the direction opposite that of the working heart muscle. Doctors refer to this as impaired movement (dyskinesis). Before drawing any conclusions about your own condition based on terms used in the report of an echocardiogram, talk to your doctor. He or she is in the best position to tell you what the results mean in your specific situation. End quote
