The aim of this study was to use 3-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography to test the hypothesis that left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony may negatively affect LV torsional mechanics in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and that LV torsion may improve after cardiac resynchronization therapy. This study included 65 subjects; 20 with IDC with ejection fractions = 120 ms), 20 with IDC with ejection fractions
