Global and regional systo-diastolic ventricular function evaluation is of primary importance in the study of patients suffering from heart disease. The finding of intact global systolic function in subjects with documented heart disease is not rare. However a variety of cardiovascular diseases can alter, at an early stage, the characteristics of the diastolic function. Functional alterations during the initial diastolic phase can be found in patients with early stage heart disease and with normal regional systolic function suggesting that regional and global diastolic evaluation could be useful in the diagnostic approach to patients with still normal global and regional systolic function.
在心脏病患者的研究中，评估全球和区域的收缩 - 舒张心室功能至关重要。在有心脏病记录的受试者中发现整体收缩功能完好并不罕见。然而，多种心血管疾病在早期就可能改变舒张功能的特征。在早期心脏病且区域收缩功能正常的患者中，可以发现舒张初期的功能改变，这表明区域和整体舒张功能评估对于整体和区域收缩功能仍正常的患者的诊断方法可能有用。
