Excerpt
In recent years, analysis of tomographic gated myocardial perfusion imaging (gMPI) has become increasingly sophisticated, and now includes measurement of left ventricle (LV) phase and dyssynchrony. Measurement of dyssynchrony has been suggested to have long-term prognostic value,
1 and as a better way to identify clinically important multivessel coronary artery disease.
2 Characterizing the magnitude of dyssynchrony as well as the area of latest contraction may contribute to the patient’s referral to, or exclusion from, high-cost interventions such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
