title: [Ventricular function in dilated cardiopathy].
abstract: Global and regional systo-diastolic ventricular function evaluation is of primary importance in the study of patients suffering from heart disease. The finding of intact global systolic function in subjects with documented heart disease is not rare. However a variety of cardiovascular diseases can alter, at an early stage, the characteristics of the diastolic function. Functional alterations during the initial diastolic phase can be found in patients with early stage heart disease and with normal regional systolic function suggesting that regional and global diastolic evaluation could be useful in the diagnostic approach to patients with still normal global and regional systolic function.
