Color kinesis is a relatively new echocardiographic technique that allows color encoding of endocardial motion in real time. We briefly review the literature on the current clinical uses and limitations of this technique, as well as its potential future applications based on some of our results. The major advantage of this modality is that it provides the basis for objective and automated evaluation of regional systolic and diastolic function, which may have a direct impact on the diagnosis of various myocardial disease states and, in particular, coronary artery disease.
