PURPOSE To develop a method for quantifying left ventricular (LV) internal flow as a measure of dyssynchrony using standard cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS CMR images were obtained from 10 healthy controls and 10 patients with dyssynchronous heart failure (class III/IV, LV ejection fraction <35%, pattern seen in an electrocardiogram QRS duration > 150 msec)...

Internal controls play an important role in overall effectiveness of information systems security. A theoretical framework of means-fundamental objectives for internal controls in information systems security context is presented. Data was collected through in-depth interview of 52 IT managers about their values in defining internal controls. A total of 68 objectives are identified which are or...
