Ventricular synchrony is not significantly determined by absolute myocardial perfusion in patients with chronic heart failure: A 13 N-ammonia PET study
ConclusionsThe existence and extent of fixed perfusion defects, but not the quantitative PET myocardial perfusion parameters (sMBF and MPR), constitute a significant independent predictor of ventricular mechanical synchrony in patients with chronic HF.
