Cine CMR can identify a U-shaped contraction pattern that predicts higher echocardiographic and clinical response rates to CRT in patients with LBBB.
Does a U-shaped pattern of contraction on cine CMR predict increased echocardiographic and clinical response rates to CRT in patients with LBBB?
Cine CMR identification of a U-shaped contraction pattern can help predict which patients with LBBB will have a favorable echocardiographic and clinical response to CRT.
Cine CMR can identify a U-shaped pattern of contraction which predicts increased echocardiographic and clinical response rates to CRT in patients with LBBB.
Sohal et al. (2013) studied this question. Cine CMR can identify a U-shaped contraction pattern that predicts higher echocardiographic and clinical response rates to CRT in patients with LBBB.
