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.
