Objectives: We evaluated the ability of delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging
(DE-MRI) to predict clinical response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) …

Objectives: We tested a circumferential mechanical dyssynchrony index (circumferential
uniformity ratio estimate [CURE]; 0 to 1, 1= synchrony) derived from magnetic resonance …

Aim To assess the relative value of a novel measure of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony
derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the extent of scar tissue for prediction …

Objectives: We aimed to assess a novel measure of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony, a
cardiovascular magnetic resonance-tissue synchronization index (CMR-TSI), in patients with …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapy for patients with
advanced heart failure, depressed left ventricular function, and wide QRS complex …

Despite the numerous documented benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), a
significant proportion of patients undergoing CRT do not demonstrate symptomatic or …

Objectives: This study sought to compare tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) with velocity-
encoded (VE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony …

Myocardial imaging has been successfully applied to the evaluation of patients with heart
failure, particularly identifying candidates who are likely to respond to cardiac …

BACKGROUND: About 30% of patients with heart failure do not respond to cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT). We hypothesized that scar burden can predict poor …

Objectives: This study was designed to predict the response and prognosis after cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Background …
