High prevalence of left ventricular systolic and diastolic asynchrony in patients with congestive heart failure and normal QRS duration
Heart · 2002 · Vol. 89(1) · pp. 54–60
Abstract
LV systolic and diastolic mechanical asynchrony is common in patients with HF with narrow QRS complexes. As QRS complex duration is not a determinant of systolic asynchrony, it implies that assessment of intraventricular synchronicity is probably more important than QRS duration in considering cardiac resynchronisation treatment.
