ABSTRACT Valvular heart disease（心脏瓣膜病）can cause chronic cardiac dysfunction and impaired myocardium due to the abnormalities of intracardiac hemodynamics，therefore it is important to evaluate the cardiac function of patients with 心脏瓣膜病 before cardiac surgery for the determination of surgical benefit and risk. With clear diagnosis of the diseased valve by echocardiography，the accurate assessment of cardiac function and impaired myocardial motion would be also crucial for the selection and timing of cardiac surgery.With the development of ultrasonic technology，emerging novel techniques of echocardiography can obtain data for accurate and quantitative diagnosis by the evaluation of cardiac mechanics，especially speckle tracking echocardiography，which has clinical value for early diagnosis of impaired myocardium and surgical risk stratification of 心脏瓣膜病. In this article，we reviewed the research progress of novel echocardiography techniques on the evaluation of cardiac function and impaired myocardium in 心脏瓣膜病 patients.
