Cardiac Dyssynchrony Analysis Using Circumferential Versus Longitudinal Strain: Implications for Assessing Cardiac Resynchronization

BACKGROUND: QRS duration is commonly used to select heart failure patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, not all patients respond to CRT, and recent data suggest that direct assessments of mechanical dyssynchrony may better predict chronic response. Echo-Doppler methods are b...
