Pacing experiments in healthy animal hearts have suggested a larger detrimental effect of septal compared to free wall preexcitation. We investigated the intrinsic relation among the site of electrical preexcitation, mechanical dyssynchrony, and dysfunction in human patients. In 33 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and 18 controls, regional myocardial deformation was assessed by speckle tracking mapping (ST-Map) to assess the preexcitation site, shortening sequences and dyssynchrony, and the extent of local and global ejecting shortening.
CME Multimedia Activity
The American Journal of Cardiology® now provides its readers with access to peer-reviewed Official Journal CME Multimedia Activities. These activities are designed to deliver quality education through an interactive experience that takes full advantage of online capabilities. This and future CME Multimedia Activities are reviewed by the journal and are found to be educational and of interest to cardiologists and other clinicians who manage patients with cardiovascular disease.- NEW!
