The quantification of ventricular dyssynchrony is a key factor in identifying patients with severe heart failure who may benefit from cardiac resynchronisation with biventricular pacing (BVP). Echocardiographic techniques appear to offer superior sensitivity and specificity than the ECG in selecting these patients. This paper reviews the scope of current echocardiographic techniques for guiding both patient selection and optimisation of device programming following implantation.
心室不同步的量化是识别可能从双心室起搏(BVP)心脏再同步治疗中获益的重度心力衰竭患者的关键因素。在选择这些患者方面,超声心动图技术似乎比心电图具有更高的敏感性和特异性。本文综述了当前超声心动图技术在指导患者选择及植入后设备程控优化方面的应用范围。
