2-D echocardiography is currently the first-line imaging modality for assessing global and regional function of left ventricle (LV). Using 2-D echocardiography, LV function is most often evaluated visually, as a result of the quality of the research depends directly on the experience and qualifications of the expert. The new technology of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography allows to assessing the contractile function of the left ventricle quantitative. Over the years, the numerous studies have demonstrated the value of speckle tracking echocardiography in the diagnosis and risk stratification of a wide range of cardiac diseases, including coronary heart disease [14]. During the cardiac cycle the speckle tracking echocardiography allows in semi-automatic mode to evaluate the deformation of the myocardium in the three spatial directions: longitudinal, radial, and circular. In addition, speckle tracking estimates the direction of rotation and speed of motion of the left ventricular myocardium. This technology may have important clinical value for quick and accurate assessment of global and segmental myocardial function. The use of estimates of the deformation of the myocardium and the speed of deformation of the myocardium by means of speckle tracking method may be able to increase the sensitivity and precision of stenosing lesions of the coronary arteries [16].
