Background The purpose of this study was to develop a multi-harmonic phase analysis
method to measure diastolic dyssynchrony from conventional gated SPECT myocardial
perfusion imaging (MPI) data and to compare it with systolic dyssynchrony in normal
subjects and in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and normal left-ventricular
ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods 121 consecutive patients with ESRD and normal LVEF
and 30 consecutive normal controls were enrolled. Diastolic dyssynchrony parameters were …
