Echocardiography
Scientists at Gentofte University target echocardiography
Published in Medical Imaging Week, July 25th, 2009
"We tested the ability of cross-correlation analysis of myocardial systolic acceleration (XCA), a new marker of dyssynchrony based on tissue Doppler echocardiography, to predict long-term outcome of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and to discriminate between control patients and patients with dyssynchrony. XCA was performed by off-line analysis of digitally stored myocardial velocity curves in 44 patients treated with CRT and followed for 1362 months," scientists in Hellerup, Denmark report.
"We tested the ability of preimplant XCA to identify long-term responders to CRT (defined by a decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume > 15%). Dyssynchrony...
