Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) systolic dyssynchrony is an important pathologic mechanism in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the prevalence of intraventricular dyssynchrony in patients with different LV ejection fractions (EFs) is unknown. This study evaluated 402 consecutive patients with HF (mean age 64.99 +/- 13.15 years, 72.4% men) and 120 healthy controls. Dyssynchrony indexes included the SD of the time to peak systolic velocity (Ts) in ejection phase in the 12-segmental model (Ts-SD) and the difference in Ts between basal septal and basal lateral segments (Ts-Septal-Lateral) using tissue Doppler imaging. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to LVEF (LVEF <20%, >20% to 35%, and >35% to 50%) and compared with healthy controls. Both indexes were significantly higher in all 3 LVEF groups compared with controls (p <0.0001). Based on the established cut-off values, systolic dyssynchrony was equally prevalent in all 3 LVEF groups and was 67%, 62%, and 55% using Ts-SD and 38%, 36%, and 35% using Ts-Septal-Lateral, respectively. However, the prevalence of systolic dyssynchrony was higher using Ts-SD than Ts-Septal-Lateral (chi-square = 94.43, p <0.001). Conversely, the prevalence of electrical dyssynchrony, defined as ...Continue Reading
