Example of global left ventricular function improvement. The upper example is the end diastolic and end-systolic frame during baseline. The middle example is the end-diastolic and end-systolic frame during dobutamine 15 µg/kg per min and the lower example is the end-diastolic and end-systolic frame after 1 h of GIK infusion
