The prognostic value of left ventricualr dyssynchrony assessed by GMP-SPECT in patients with ventricular aneurysm.

Conclusions: Left ventricular dyssynchrony analysed by phase analysis of GMP-SPECT has great clinical significance in LVA patient prognostic evaluation. Patients occurred more cardiac events and death with LVMD and BW was the only independent predictor for cardiac events of patients with LV aneurysm. So cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) should be considered for LV aneurysm with baseline LVMD and surgical treatment for these LVA patients would be associated with improved long-term survival.
