Abstract

Intuitively, cardiac dyssynchrony is the inevitable result of myocardial injury. We hypothesized that radial dyssynchrony reflects left ventricular remodeling, myocardial scarring, QRS duration and impaired LV function and that, accordingly, it is detectable in all patients with heart failure.
