Mechanical dyssynchrony measured by real-time 3D echocardiography significantly correlates with acute hemodynamic response to biventricular pacing in heart failure patients.
Dijk et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Heart failure / Dilated cardiomyopathy (n=17). Real-time 3D echocardiography (RT3DE) and biventricular pacing vs. Non-pacing mode was evaluated on Correlation between systolic dyssynchrony index (SDI17) and percentual change in dP/dt(max) (r = 0.729, p=0.001). Mechanical dyssynchrony measured by real-time 3D echocardiography significantly correlated with acute haemodynamic response to biventricular pacing (r = 0.729, P = 0.001).
