The author defends the clinical utility of tissue Doppler imaging in assessing systolic dyssynchrony to predict response and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Antonio Vitarelli (2008) conducted a letter in Heart failure. Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) for dyssynchrony assessment was evaluated. Tissue Doppler imaging assessment of systolic dyssynchrony (e.g., Ts-SD >37 ms) predicts event-free survival with 68% sensitivity and 71% specificity in heart failure patients.
