Index of contractile asymmetry improves patient selection for CRT: a proof-of-concept study

Abstract Background Nearly one-third of heart failure (HF) patients do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) despite having left bundle branch block (LBBB). The aim of the study was to investigate a novel method of quantifying left ventricular (LV) contractile asymmetry in HF. Metho...
