چکیده

OBJECTIVES The study evaluated the prognostic value of interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). BACKGROUND Biventricular pacing is an emerging treatment for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and ventricular dyssynchrony. The prognostic values of interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony have not been previously compared. METHODS A total of 103 patients with IDC were studied. Left bundle branch block was present in 25% of patients. Equilibrium radionuclide angiography was performed and Fourier phase analyses were examined in both ventricles. Difference between the mean phase of left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) assessed interventricular dyssynchrony, and standard deviations (SDs) of the mean phase in each ventricle assessed intraventricular dyssynchrony. RESULTS The QRS duration was related to both interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony. A degradation of the hemodynamic status was associated with an increase in intraventricular dyssynchrony but not in interventricular dyssynchrony. With a follow-up of 27 23 months, 18 patients had a major cardiac event (7 cardiac deaths; 11 worsening, leading to heart transplantation). The SDs of the LV and RV mean phase and QRS duration were predictors of cardiac event (all p 0.0001), but interventricular dyssynchrony was not. Among 13 univariate predictors of cardiac event, the only independent predictors were an increased SD of LV mean phase (p 0.0004) and an increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (p 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Intraventricular dyssynchrony evaluated with phase analysis of radionuclide angiography is an independent predictor of cardiac event in IDC. The prognosis is related to intraventricular rather than to interventricular dyssynchrony in IDC. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2002;40:2022–30) © 2002 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation

Frontiers in congestive heart failure: Ventricular contraction abnormalities in dilated cardiomyopathy: effect of biventricular pacing to correct interventricular dyssynchrony.

OBJECTIVE To measure ventricular contractile synchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and to evaluate the effects of biventricular pacing on contractile synchrony and ejection fraction. BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by abnormal ventricular activation and contraction. Biventricular pacing may promote a more coordinated ventricular contraction pattern in thes...

Prevalence and prognostic value of ventricular dyssynchrony in Chagas cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND Chagas cardiomyopathy is one important cause of heart failure in Latin America. Ventricular dyssynchrony may be a factor of decompensation in the course of this disease, but there are no data on its prevalence and its main prognostic implications yet. OBJECTIVE Describe prevalence and prognostic value of ventricular dyssynchrony in Chagas cardiomyopathy. METHODS 56 patients with ...

Variations of QRS Morphology in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy; Clinical and Prognostic Implications

The QRS represents the simultaneous activation of the right and left ventricles, although most of the QRS waveform is derived from the larger left ventricular musculature. Although normal QRS duration is <100 millisecond (ms), its duration and shape are quite variable from patient to patient in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM). Prolongation of QRS occurs in 14% to 47% of heart failure (...

Quantification of ventricular resynchronization reserve by radionuclide phase analysis in heart failure patients: a prospective long-term study.

BACKGROUND Phase analysis, developed to assess dyssynchrony from ECG-gated radionuclide ventriculography, has shown promising results. We hypothesized that quantifying the cardiac resynchronization reserve, that is, the extent of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), by radionuclide imaging could potentially identify patients who are best suited for CRT. METHODS AND RESULTS Sev...

OBJECTIVE To establish the parameters of intra- and interventricular synchrony in normal individuals and to compare them with patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with and without conduction disorders shown in the electrocardiogram (ECG) examination. METHODS Three groups of patients were included in this study: 18 individuals (G1) with no cardiomyopathy and with a normal ECG (52+/-12 years, 2...
