LV dyssynchrony assessed with phase analysis on gated myocardial perfusion spect can predict response to crt in patients with end-stage heart failure

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment in patients with end-stage heart failure and wide QRS complex. However, about 30% of patients do not benefit from CRT (non-responder). Recent studies with tissue Doppler imaging yielded disappointing results in predictin...
