Abstract: Left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) represents dyskinetic myocardium or myocardial scar tissue which ‘‘pushes outwards’’ during systole, and has been shown previously to be and independent marker of poor outcome. Dyssynchronous myocardium is deleterious… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND In heart failure (HF) patients, left ventricular mechanical dispersion (LVMD) reflects heterogeneous mechanical activation of the left ventricle. In HF patients, LVMD can be reduced after CRT. Whether lesser LVMD is associated with improved… read more here.

Abstract: AIMS Left ventricular (LV) mechanical dispersion (MD) may result from heterogeneous electrical conduction and is associated with adverse events. The present study investigated (i) the association between LV MD and the extent of LV scar… read more here.

Abstract: Patients with severely depressed left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEFs) receive implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for the primary prevention of sudden death. However, in some patients, LVEFs may improve or even normalize over time, and these patients… read more here.
