An ultrasound machine is disclosed that includes a method and apparatus for generating an image responsive to moving cardiac structure, and for extracting wall function information relative to anatomical landmarks located within the heart. At least one processor is responsive to signals received from the heart to locate anatomical landmarks within the cardiac structure and generate position information of the anatomical landmarks, locate walls within the heart relative to the position information of the anatomical landmarks, and extract wall function information from the walls within the heart. The landmarks, walls, and wall function information may be displayed to a user of the ultrasound machine.
