Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony [PDF]
Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2016 Normal regional left ventricular (LV) mechanical contraction is synchronous, resulting in efficient ejection. Abnormalities in electrical activation or myocardial diseases may affect the timing of regional contraction, resulting in discoordinated or ...

Patient-Ventilator Dyssynchrony [PDF]
Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2017 In mechanically ventilated patients, assisted mechanical ventilation (MV) is employed early, following the acute phase of critical illness, in order to eliminate the detrimental effects of controlled MV, most notably the development of ventilator-induced

Medical Journal of Babylon, 2018 Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major problem worldwide, and despite the optimal medical treatment, still it carries high mortality. Ventricular dyssynchrony among patient with HF portends poor prognosis.

Single beat determination of intraventricular systolic dyssynchrony in patients with atrial fibrillation and systolic dysfunction [PDF]
Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013 Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia. However, diagnosis of intraventricular dyssynchrony in patients with AF is difficult due to beat-to-beat variation.

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2019 Background: Recent studies suggest that left atrial (LA) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can quantify the underlying tissue remodeling that harbors atrial fibrillation (AF). However, quantification of LA-LGE requires labor-intensive magnetic resonance

Dyssynchrony without dysfunction: Left bundle branch block does not acutely reduce cardiac output [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Six electromechanical in silico heart models were simulated under healthy and pure acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) conditions. LBBB induced electrical dyssynchrony and increased left ventricular free wall strain, while the right and left ventricular ejection fraction remained relatively unchanged.

Statistical ranking of electromechanical dyssynchrony parameters for CRT
Open Heart, 2019 Objective Mechanical evaluation of dyssynchrony by echocardiography has not replaced ECG in routine cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) evaluation because of its complexity and lack of reproducibility.
