Echocardiographic dyssynchrony measures may refine CRT selection; leaves open need for randomized prospective validation before practice change.
Echocardiography provides various quantitative tools to assess systolic dyssynchrony, which is crucial for predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients.
Cheuk‐Man Yu (2004) conducted a review in heart failure with wide QRS duration. Echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac dyssynchrony was evaluated. Echocardiographic techniques, including M-mode and tissue Doppler imaging, are useful tools for quantitatively measuring systolic dyssynchrony to predict favorable responses to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
