Background: Intraoperative evaluation of left ventricular (LV) myocardial function using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become routine during anaesthesia for major surgical procedures. Current practice for quantification of LV function includes fractional shortening (FS) and fractional area change (FAC), which are suggested by published guidelines. [2] Contractility or systolic function is load dependent and should ideally be assessed over a range of prelaod and afterload. Two-dimensional strain echocardiography (2DSE), a relatively new method for assessment of myocardial function, which is based on measurement of myocardial deformation using speckle tracking from B mode images. [5, 10] This study examined LV function using FS, ...
