Echocardiographic tissue synchronization imaging (TSI) consists of color-coding time-to-peak tissue Doppler velocities-This study of 29 patients who underwent cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) demonstrated that differences in baseline time-to-speak velocities of opposing ventricular walls by TSI were greater in 15 patients, with an acute hemodynamic improvement. A greater than or equal to65 ms delay from the anterior septum to the posterior wall using the apical long-axis view had 87% sensitivity and 100% specificity for predicting an acute response. Although a subgroup without acute improvement had later decreases in end-systolic volume, suggesting that acute response underestimates long-term effects, TSI has potential to assist in guiding CRT.
