Radial dyssynchrony assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in relation to left ventricular function myocardial scarring and QRS duration in patients with heart failure

摘要

BackgroundIntuitively, cardiac dyssynchrony is the inevitable result of myocardial injury. We hypothezised that radial dyssynchrony reflects left ventricular remodeling, myocardial scarring, QRS duration and impaired LV function and that, accordingly, it is detectable in all patients with heart failure.
