Background The systolic and diastolic dyssynchrony is physiologically related, but measure
different left ventricular mechanisms. Left ventricular systolic mechanical dyssynchrony …

Background Mechanical left ventricular dyssynchrony (MLVD) might contribute in the
therapeutic decision-making in patients with heart failure (HF) prior to cardiac …

Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) patients with different
pathophysiology may influence mechanical dyssynchrony and get different ventricular …

Background Left ventricular diastolic dyssynchrony (LVDD) can be assessed by gated
myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (GMP-SPECT). LVDD …

Background Left-ventricular systolic dyssynchrony (LVSD) has been an important prognostic
factor in the patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, the association between …

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GMPS)
in the prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in nonischaemic …

Purpose The study aimed to investigate the value of clinical variables and rest gated single-
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in predicting cardiac deaths in medically …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is now a well-recognized therapeutic option for
patients with end-stage heart failure. However, not all patients respond to CRT, and …

Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) is defined by a difference in the timing of
mechanical contraction or relaxation between different segments of the left ventricle (LV) …

The significance of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony for the prediction of response to
cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been demonstrated. Parameters reflecting LV …
