As we enter the next phase of evolution, the catheter-based treatments of structural heart disease are bringing back some of the early lessons of the importance of ventricular performance and its evaluation. Complicating the transition is the need to synthesize information across multiple noninvasive and invasive modalities of cardiac assessment to determine clinical decision making for individual patients.
