Sentence examples for mechanical dyssynchrony evaluation from inspiring English sources

The grade of systemic atrioventricular valve was assessed using usual semiquantitative grading as none = 0, mild = 1, moderate = 2 and severe  = 3. 12 No details of mechanical dyssynchrony evaluation other than the method used were obtained.

For this reason, phase analysis of GMPS studies has attracted increasing interest for the evaluation of CRT patients as it allows an integrated evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony, regional activation pattern and myocardial infarction [ 17, 18].

Evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony and myocardial perfusion using phase analysis of gated SPECT imaging in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Phase analysis on GMPS is another approach to the evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony [ 16, 17].

Recent developments have resulted in an integrated evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony, the regional mechanical activation pattern and the site of latest mechanical activation using the same SPECT dataset.

Although CRT indication was based on echocardiographic evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony the interpretation may have been wrong and improvement was not achieved.

The majority of patients (105/109, 96%) underwent evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony by either conventional echocardiography (92 patients) and/or by tissue Doppler imaging (67 patients) without a prespecified protocol.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest reported study evaluating mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with mild-moderate LV dysfunction using phase analysis of gated SPECT imaging.

Phase analysis on gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (GMPS) has been developed to evaluate the presence and extent of mechanical dyssynchrony using an automatic and standardized approach [ 17, 18].

Different mechanisms play an important role in the response to CRT, such as preexisting mechanical dyssynchrony, location and extent of scarred myocardium and the position of the left ventricular (LV) pacing lead [ 7, 8].

We then apply this to echocardiographic measurements of mechanical dyssynchrony and response.
