Book Chapter Description

Assessment of Left ventricle systolic function is essential to management of patient with cardiorespiratory failure. The recommended method of Left ventricular systolic function assessment like Ejection fraction and 3D volumetric measurements require high quality images, which may be limited in critically ill patients. In addition, their role is limited to guiding management of critically ill patients. In this chapter, we discuss various methods to assess LV systolic function, including both global and regional measurement, their strengths, limitation and clinical application in guiding management of patients with shock and respiratory failure.
