Popis: INTRODUCTION Although systolic and diastolic dysfunction must coexist, they are most often considered in isolation. Therefore, a simple and reproducible quantitative measurement that integrates systolic and diastolic function is desirable. We hypothesize that the absolute sum of lateral mitral annular systolic and early diastolic peak velocities is predictive of overall cardiac function. METHODS In this study, lateral mitral annular systolic (S') and early diastolic (E') peak velocities were measured in healthy subjects and compared against subjects with progressive degrees of systolic and diastolic dysfunction. RESULTS A total of 149 subjects (56% male, mean age 48 years) were enrolled and stratified according to global left ventricular function: 76 normal, 40 mild-moderate dysfunction, and 33 moderate-severe dysfunction. Adjusting for baseline differences including age, univariate analysis showed mean S' + E' values were significantly different between subjects with normal, mild-moderate, and moderate-severe global left ventricular function (27, 17, 13 cm/s; P
