| Abstract | This article discusses how echocardiography can be applied to quantify dyssynchrony in patients who are evaluated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). A number of echocardiographic indices have been proposed as markers of success of CRT. However, when tested against QRS width in prospective clinical trials, none of the echocardiographic indices are proven to give clinical benefit. One important message in this review is that future studies should focus on approaches which can differentiate between electrical and non-electrical aetiologies of dyssynchrony, since only electrical dyssynchrony is likely to respond to CRT. Just measuring velocity indices does not identify the aetiology. Myocardial strain appears more promising, but one should be aware that timing of peak systolic strain is determined not only by electrical conduction. It is proposed to use onset septal shortening during pre-ejection for timing of earliest left ventricular (LV) electrical activation. One should take into account potential ischaemia, scarring, and other structural changes as contributors to dyssynchrony. As a method to identify electrical dyssynchrony, the authors propose to use time of active force generation as defined by LV pressure-strain loops. A non-invasive method to measure segmental pressure-strain loops is also proposed as a means to quantify the impact of dyssynchrony on distribution of myocardial work. Furthermore, it is important to be aware that LV dyssynchrony may have a combination of aetiologies, not all amenable for CRT. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
