title: Left ventricular dyssynchrony assessment using myocardial single-photon emission CT.
abstract: Myocardial SPECT using standard procedure for perfusion imaging and phase analysis is a novel approach to left ventricular dyssynchrony assessment. Preliminary data suggest excellent repeatability and potential utility for guiding cardiac resynchronization therapy and elucidating mechanisms.
