Recently, there is emerging evidence to assess the role of dyssynchrony in identifying asymptomatic diabetic patients who may develop diabetic cardiomyopathy. The role of LV mechanical dyssynchrony assessment with gated single-photon emission computed tomography in selection and response assessment of patients, who undergo cardiac resynchronization therapy, is widely discussed. Vankadari Kousik, Ashwani Sood, Anish Bhattacharya, Bhagwant Rai Mittalĭepartment of Nuclear Medicine, PGIMER, Chandigarh, Indiaīackground and Objectives: Dyssynchrony refers to abnormal myocardial activation leading to inhomogenous contraction of the left ventricular (LV) muscle fibers and reduced LV ejection fraction. OP1: Dyssynchrony evaluation using NH3 cardiac positron emission tomography in asymptomatic diabetic patients compared to age-matched healthy controls with low risk of coronary artery disease
