Right ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 2007; (9): 1073-9
Mechanical dyssynchrony predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in adults with heart failure. Children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) are susceptible to right ventricular (RV) failure; however, mechanical dyssynchrony has not been studied in this population with newly available methodologies. We investigated RV mechanical dyssynchrony in children with HLHS using vector velocity imaging.
