Left ventricular dyssynchrony and abnormalities in wall motion, assessed by gated-SPECT as ischemic auxiliary markers.

Introduction: Left ventricular dyssynchrony (LVD) quantified by gated myocardial perfusion studies (MPS), through phase analysis (PA), has shown controversial results in myocardial stunning.

Objectives: Assessment of LVD and regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) in normal and ischemic patients.

Methods: A cohort of 172 patients were studied.

[Embolism predictors of infective endocarditis].

The embolic event (EE) increases the morbidity and mortality of infective endocarditis (IE). Prevalence of EE ranges between 22% and 50%, death rates being up to 25% of patients. EE may occur prior to diagnosis, during treatment or afterwards.
