PY - 2010 T2 - Clinical Manual and Review of Transesophageal Echocardiography, 2e AB - The assessment of ventricular systolic performance is one of the most important roles of perioperative echocardiography. Ventricular function is a key determinant of cardiac output, and global or regional dysfunction may be present before surgery or develop de novo perioperatively. Patients with coronary disease are particularly at risk. The ability of the echocardiographer to recognize such abnormalities is critical to optimal patient care.
