title: [Recent echocardiographic examination of the left ventricle – from M-mode to 3D speckle-tracking imaging].
abstract: The left ventricle has a vital role in maintaining circulation of the body, therefore, its non-invasive assessment is essential. The aim of the present review is to demonstrate clinical relevance of different echocardiographic methods in the evaluation of left ventricle emphasizing the importance of the most recent three-dimensional (and) speckle-tracking methodologies.
