Accurate assessment of left and right ventricular systolic function plays a fundamental role in the prognostication and management of patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. Traditional echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular ejection fraction, may lack the sensitivity to detect subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The advent of speckle tracking echocardiography for left and right ventricular systolic function assessment provides a further tool in this evaluation. Speckle tracking echocardiography has been demonstrated to provide incremental prognostic value beyond traditional echocardiographic parameters. This review discusses the clinical application of speckle tracking echocardiography in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease and its implementation within the clinical echocardiography laboratory.
准确评估左、右心室收缩功能在已知或疑似心血管疾病患者的预后和管理中起着至关重要的作用。传统的超声心动图参数,包括左心室射血分数,可能缺乏检测亚临床左心室收缩功能障碍的敏感性。斑点追踪超声心动图用于评估左、右心室收缩功能为这种评估提供了进一步的工具。斑点追踪超声心动图已被证明提供了比传统超声心动图参数更多的预后价值。这篇综述讨论了斑点追踪超声心动图在心血管疾病评估中的临床应用及其在临床超声心动图实验室中的实施。
