Unexpectedly decreased left ventricular global systolic function can be difficult to manage, even for patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery, and should prompt a multidisciplinary discussion. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the evidence describing key perioperative variables expected to influence left ventricular systolic function to facilitate this discussion.
