Abstract:
Assessment of left ventricular systolic function is the basis of clinical decision making for heart diseases, and is the most common application of echocardiography. Understanding and mastering the methods of left ventricular systolic function assessment is the basic requirement for learning echocardiographic techniques. This article describes the assessment of global systolic function and local systolic function of left ventricle with echocardiography.
