Does cardiac resynchronization therapy improve LV contraction dyssynchrony in a canine model of left bundle branch block?
Color-coded speckle tracking radial strain is proposed as a method to quantify LV dyssynchrony and assess the impact of CRT in a canine model of LBBB.

May warrant heightened infection prevention in ICUs; leaves open causality and generalizability beyond this animal model.
Quantification of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is important for heart failure patients with left bundle branch block to assess the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We tested the hypothesis that LV contraction dyssynchrony and the impact of CRT on restoration of efficient synchronous contraction could be quantified from discordant regional radial strain.

Lamia et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in ICU-acquired infection (n=343). ICU-acquired infection vs. No ICU-acquired infection was evaluated on ICU mortality (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.05-5.98).
