Electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony for prediction of cardiac events in patients with systolic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Recent clinical trials have challenged the clinical applicability of mechanical dyssynchrony in predicting cardiac resynchronisation therapy response. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether mechanical dyssynchrony has an additional benefit over QRS duration in predicting cardiac events in patients with systolic heart failure. METHODS A total 167 patients admitted to hospital with heart fa...
متن کاملSelf-care behaviors in patients with systolic heart failure
Background and Purpose: To improve life quality, and lower mortality and rehospitalization for heart failure patients, awareness and adherence to self-care behaviors are essential. This study aims to determine the adherence level to self-care behaviors in the patients with systolic heart failure hospitalized in Alborz hospital in Karaj andShahriar hospital, and it was conducted in 2013. Methods...
متن کاملSelecting patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy: electrical or mechanical dyssynchrony?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) markedly reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure and prolonged QRS duration. Landmark trials have included over 4000 patients based on their electrocardiogram. A few small, observational, non-randomized, single centre studies of short duration have suggested that echocardiographic measurement of mechanical dyssynchrony may better id...
متن کاملClinical Implication of Mechanical Dyssynchrony in Heart Failure
Mechanical dyssynchrony is a common phenomenon in patients with congestive heart failure, which usually identified by noninvasive cardiac imaging tools such as echocardiography. It demonstrates electromechanical delay in some regions of the failing heart which in turn contributes to further impairment of cardiac function. The diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic values of mechanical dyssynchr...
