Three dimensional echocardiography for left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony analysis
| Allows comparison of timing of all LV segments |
| Regional volumes provide composite of all vectors of motion |
| Excellent spatial resolution |
| Quick acquisition and analysis |
| Systolic dyssynchrony index is simple, intuitive, reproducible, and predictive of cardiac resynchronisation therapy success |
