Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Using Fourier phase analysis of equilibrium radionuclide angiography in both ventricles, inter- and intraventricular delays were correlated with QRS morphology and duration in 103 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. We found that left bundle branch block on the left axis may reflect a high intra-left ventricular dyssynchrony. A precise evaluation of the dyssynchrony appears useful because a high proportion of patients with incomplete bundle branch block, left anterior hemiblock, or "normal" QRS exhibit a marked intra-LV dyssynchrony and may respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy. |
