Relationship between MRI-based mechanical activation delays and direct intraoperative measurements of electrical delay in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be used to create maps of left ventricular (LV) mechanical activation delay by analyzing time-dependent radial motion of the myocardium. Local electrograms (EGM) can be obtained during the CRT procedure to measure local electrical activation delay in the LV myocardium. Preoperative MRI assessment of regional dyssynchrony would be useful to guide CRT lead placement. However, the relationship between electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony has not been studied in humans. We hypothesized that intraoperative electrical delay times will correlate with MR-based mechanical delay times.

Relationship between mechanical dyssynchrony and intra-operative electrical delay times in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy
BACKGROUND It is important to understand the relationship between electrical and mechanical ventricular activation in CRT patients. By measuring local electrical activation at multiple locations within the coronary veins and myocardial contraction at the same locations in the left ventricle, we determined the relationship between electrical and mechanical activation at potential left ventricula...
متن کاملNon-invasive cardiac magnetic resonance and electrical myocardial imaging assessment of CRT in patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block
Introduction CRT is an effective treatment for patients with heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay. However, clinical non-response rates remain unacceptably high; emphasizing the need for improved selection criteria. Central to the underlying mechanism of resynchronization is the relationship between mechanical and electrical activation. The purpose of this study was to demonstrat...
متن کاملRegions of latest mechanical contraction correspond to regions of latest electrical activation: an electro-mechanical coupling study in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy
Background Numerous studies have shown that placing the left ventricular (LV) pacing lead in the latest contracting region (mechanically dyssynchronous) or the latest activated region (electrically dyssynchronous) of the LV improves patient response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). However, no studies have examined electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony in the same patients to examin...
متن کاملPre-Implant Assessment For Optimal LV Lead Placement In CRT: ECG, ECHO, or MRI?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves cardiac function in many patients with ventricular dyssynchrony. The optimal use of imaging for pre-implantation assessment remains a subject of debate. Here, we review the literature to date on the utility of echocardiography and cardiac MR, as well as conventional ECG, in choosing the best site for LV lead implantation. Prior to the use of imag...
