Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: - To study cardiac sympathetic activity before and after CRT. - To study basal myocardial perfusion and systolic dyssynchrony derived parameters with nuclear cardiac imaging before and after CRT.;Secondary Objective: - To correlate data of myocardial perfusion, dyssynchrony and sympathetic activity, obtained before and after 4-6 months of CRT, with clinical and functional follow-up. - To correlate scintigraphic with echocardiographic parameters of dyssynchrony.;Primary end point(s): Basal myocardial perfusion, systolic dyssynchrony and sympathetic activity after 4-6 months of CRT, evaluated with nuclear imaging. | — |
