Add to ORKGBackground: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a new approach to treat of refractory heart failure (HF). Electrical dyssynchrony (ED) is used for selection of candidates to CRT. However, mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) may be more appropriate as it evaluates contraction. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between ED and MD in patients potentially candidates to CRT. Methods: One hundred five patients with HF (mean age 65± 20 years, NYHA class III-IV, sinus rhythm, LVEF <35%, optimized medical therapy and complete or incomplete BBB) were studied. The patients were classified in 3 groups based on QRS duration: A= 150 ms. Three indexes of interventricular MD were measured: Qa-Qp by conventional Doppler and QT-QM and QT-QMonset ...
