Radionuclide‐based imaging is an alternative to evaluate ventricular function and
synchrony and may be used as a tool for the identification of patients that could benefit from …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional classification among patients
with left ventricle malfunction and ventricular electric conduction disorders. However, a high …

Aim: To define the range of phase spread on equilibrium gated radionuclide
ventriculography (ERNV) in normal individuals and derive the cut-off limit for the parameters …

Factorial phase analysis (FaPI) represents an alternative method to Fourier phase analysis
(FoPI) in the evaluation and detection of abnormalities on cardiac contraction patterns, but it …

Traditional patient selection criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) could be
improved to predict patient response to CRT. Assessment of cardiac dyssynchrony using …

Conclusions The response to CRT is largely determined by the baseline degree of interand
intraventricular dyssynchrony, and echocardiography seems to be the ideal technique by …

Radionuclide imaging has an advantage for quantitative analyses of the tracer concentration
and its temporal changes. Myocardial perfusion and function have been adapted for …

Purpose To use singular value decomposition (SVD) in heart failure (HF) to reveal primary
spatiotemporal strain patterns in the left ventricle (LV), then develop and test a time …

Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has the potential to improve the
outcome of patients suffering from mechanical dyssynchrony and heart failure. It has been …

Objective Mechanical evaluation of dyssynchrony by echocardiography has not replaced
ECG in routine cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) evaluation because of its …
