Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with impaired left ventric...
Ferreira, Maria João Vidigal; Silva, Rodolfo; Cabanelas, Nuno; Cunha, Maria João; Ramos, Domingos; Albuquerque, Anabela; Teixeira, RogérioIntroduction: Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has been used to quantify mechanical dyssynchrony. Mechanical dyssynchrony appears to be related to response to cardiac resynchronization therapy. Objective: To evaluate the presence and predictors of mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with impaired left ventricular function (LVEF) ≤50%. Methods: The study included 143 consecutive patients referred f...
