Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony is an important parameter to select heart failure
patients who are candidates for CRT. The integration of this parameter together with extent …

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of this review is to summarily explain what LV
synchrony, coordination, myocardial work, and flow dynamics are, trying to clarify their …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has had a major favourable impact on the care of
patients with symptomatic heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction< 35% and enlarged …

Dyssynchrony is found not only in patients with heart failure and with wide QRS but also in
patients with heart failure and with normal QRS duration. 32, 33 Yu and colleges reported …

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: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important therapeutic
approach for patients with symptomatic heart failure. The assessment of mechanical …

Aims It is unclear whether myocardial velocity or deformation indices of dyssynchrony are
better at predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Therefore, two …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure is limited by many non-
responders. This study explores whether degree of wasted left ventricular (LV) work …

Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) is referred to incoordinate onset of
mechanical contraction between the left ventricle (LV) segments, 1 leading to structural and …

Left ventricular dyssynchrony (LVD) is common in heart failure patients with LV systolic
dysfunction. Contrary to what it could be expected, LVD is not a stable phenomenon …
