Abstract
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that the conventional parameters characterizing left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) measured on gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) have their own statistical limitations in predicting cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. The purpose of this study is to discover new predictors from the polarmaps of LVMD by deep learning to help select heart failure patients with a high likelihood of response to CRT.
