Although both interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony increased with the increasing QRS duration, the correlation between intraventricular mechanical and electrical dyssynchrony was weak. The lack of intraventricular dyssynchrony in a fraction of patients with standard CRT indication by QRS duration may provide us insight into the nonresponders rates.

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the geometric changes of the mitral leaflets, local and global LV remodeling in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and varying degrees of Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).Background: Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) occurs as a consequence of systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction caused by ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Mitral valve repair in ischemic MR is one of the most controversial topic in surgery and proper repairing requires an understanding of its mechanisms, as the exact mechanism of FMR are not well defined.

World Health Organization has designated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. During the past several weeks, a considerable burden has been imposed on the Iranian's healthcare system. The present document reviewed the latest evidence and expert opinion regarding the management of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction during the outbreak of COVID-19 and outlines a practical algorithm for it.

EECP therapy seemed to improve both regional and global LV systolic and diastolic functions in patients with chronic angina pectoris.
