As with all cardiac imaging modalities, the assessment of regional left ventricular function with echocardiography is performed by artificially dividing the left ventricular myocardium into a number of segments. The segmentation of the left ventricle reflects coronary perfusion territories, results in segments with comparable myocardial mass, and allows standardized communication within echocardiography and with other imaging modalities [1].

Abstract
As with all cardiac imaging modalities, the assessment of regional left ventricular function with echocardiography is performed by artificially dividing the left ventricular myocardium into a number of segments. The segmentation of the left ventricle reflects coronary perfusion territories, results in segments with comparable myocardial mass, and allows standardized communication within echocardiography and with other imaging modalities [1].
