However, approximately 30% of patients are nonresponsive to CRT. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) and scar burden as predictors of CRT response. Methods: In this study, we included 56 patients with HF and the left bundle-branch block with QRS duration \u2265 150 ms who underwent CRT-D implantation. In addition to a full examination, myocardial perfusion imaging and gated blood-pool single-photon emission computed tomography were performed. Patients were grouped based on the response to CRT assessed via echocardiography (decrease in LV end-systolic volume \u226515% or\/and improvement in the LV ejection fraction \u22655%). Results: In total, 45 patients (80.3%) were responders and 11 (19.7%) were nonresponders to CRT. In multivariate logistic regression, LV anterior-wall standard deviation (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.5275; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1472\u20132.0340; p = 0.0037), summed rest score (OR 0.7299; 95% CI 0.5627\u20130.9469; p = 0.0178), and HF nonischemic etiology (OR 20.1425; 95% CI 1.2719\u2013318.9961; p = 0.0331) were the independent predictors of CRT response. Conclusion: Scar burden and MD assessed using cardiac scintigraphy are associated with response to CRT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12062120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]],"date-time":"2023-03-09T01:35:37Z","timestamp":1678325737000},"page":"2120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Value of Left Ventricular Mechanical Dyssynchrony and Scar Burden in the Combined Assessment of Factors Associated with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Response in Patients with CRT-D"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2645-4142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tariel A.","family":"Atabekov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9885-5204","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikhail S.","family":"Khlynin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna I.","family":"Mishkina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roman E.","family":"Batalov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Svetlana I.","family":"Sazonova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergey N.","family":"Krivolapov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor V.","family":"Saushkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuliya V.","family":"Varlamova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Konstantin V.","family":"Zavadovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergey V.","family":"Popov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Research Institute, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kievskaya St., 111a, Tomsk 634012, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"368","DOI":"10.1038\/nrcardio.2016.25","article-title":"Epidemiology and aetiology of heart failure","volume":"13","author":"Ziaeian","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
