Detection of regional low myocardial perfusion helps predict a response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy: Results of the Find Index by Nuclear Imaging for Dyssynchrony (FIND) study

Detection of regional low myocardial perfusion helps predict a response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy: Results of the Find Index by Nuclear Imaging for Dyssynchrony (FIND) study

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of imaging techniques to predict the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) by simultaneous assessment of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and myocardial perfusion in a sin...
