Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony
Normal regional left ventricular (LV) mechanical contraction is synchronous, resulting in efficient ejection. Abnormalities in electrical activation or myocardial diseases may affect the timing of regional contraction, resulting in discoordinated or dyssynchronous contraction, which is inefficient....
