Equilibrium radionuclide angiography in evaluation of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: Comparison with electrocardiographic parameters and speckle-tracking echocardiography
Abstract:Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this study was to study the role of equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA) in the assessment of left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), by correlating the findings with electrocardiographic parameters and speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE).
Methods:
This was a prospective observational study. A total of 55 patients with a mean age 42.5 ± 11 years (range: 19–61 years) diag… Show more
