Aim: To provide an analysis of the prevalence and type of dyssynchrony in patients included in the CARE-HF trial.
-
Observational studies suggest that patients having more left ventricular dyssynchrony pre-implantation obtain greater benefit on ventricular function and symptoms with CRT.
-
Intra-ventricular (regional) dyssynchrony in a 16-segment model was expressed either as a delayed longitudinal contraction (DLC) during the postsystolic phase or by tissue synchronisation imaging (TSI) with a predefined time-difference in systolic maximal velocities
-
The prevalence of intra-ventricular dyssynchrony is high in patients with heart failure, wide QRS and depressed systolic function.
-
Most important, TSI appears to be a fast and reliable method to identify patients with intra-ventricular dyssynchrony likely to benefit from CRT.
