A method and ultrasound imaging system includes generating a cine including a plurality of cardiac views based on the cardiac ultrasound data, segmenting a plurality of cardiac chambers from each of the plurality of cardiac images, and automatically determining a cardiac chamber area for each of the plurality of cardiac chambers. The method and ultrasound imaging system includes displaying the cine on a display device and displaying a plurality of single trace curves on the display device at the same time as the cine to provide feedback regarding an acquisition quality of the cine, wherein each of the single trace curves represents the cardiac chamber area for a different one of the plurality of cardiac chambers over the plurality of cardiac cycles.
