Intraoperative characterization of interventricular mechanical dyssynchrony using electroanatomic mapping system—a feasibility study
2012
Background
Interventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (VVMD) is a strong predictor of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. However, no simple and reliable clinical method of measuring VVMD during CRT implant is currently available. We tested the hypothesis that the EnSite™ NavX™ system (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) can be used intraoperatively to determine VVMD, thereby facilitating CRT optimization.
