Aims Asynchronous myocardial contraction adversely influences left ventricular (LV) function
and is therefore associated with a poor prognosis in heart failure. Exercise-induced change …

Tissue Doppler imaging-derived intra-left ventricular (LV) contractile dyssynchrony is an
evolving prognostic parameter for patients with systolic heart failure (HF). However, whether …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become an attractive therapeutic option
for patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Currently, patients are selected for CRT on …

Background Little is known about the impact of QRS duration and aetiology of heart failure
on the pattern of left ventricular long-and short-axis dyssynchrony. Objective To investigate …

Objectives: We sought to test whether the mechanical dyssynchrony assessed by tissue
Doppler imaging (TDI) is a predictor of cardiac events in patients with congestive heart …

Background: Left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is not a stable phenomenon, but rather,
changes dynamically. Given that the prognostic impact of dynamic dyssynchrony has not yet …

Objectives: Left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony parameters are still being investigated to
guide and optimize treatment in heart failure. We investigated the prognostic importance of …

Background: Left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony can lead to impairment of LV
function and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate mechanical dyssynchrony in patients
with acute onset cardiomyopathy with narrow QRS interval, and its association with …

Aim This study assessed RV dyssynchrony (irrespective to QRS duration) and RV systolic
function in non‐ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) versus ischemic dilated …
