Because of better awareness and understanding of its pathophysiology, the cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is more often diagnosed and better managed. The echocardiographic evaluation of CRS now benefits from three‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D‐STE), which allows multidimensional and real‐time evaluation of regional myocardial and overall cardiac function, and helps assessing the degree of myocardial damage. This article describes the application of 3D‐STE in evaluating the myocardial motion in patients with CRS.
