Abstract

The author reflects on mechanical dyssynchrony and its role in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) wherein D’Andrea et al. assessed mechanical dyssynchrony based on one technique and one echo-system, which revealed intraventricular dyssynchrony was independently correlated with clinical outcomes and opined that a progress will be made in the assessment of dyssynchrony by increasing its feasibility and robustness.
