I am unclear how to translate "segmentarismos" with "marcados" here.

I see "segmentarismo" is sometimes used to talk about ST segment elevation but that is on an EKG, not an echocardiogram as in this case (right?) In this case is it referring to the heart segments? Would it be something like "more affected segments"? Am I along the right lines here? Any comments appreciated.
