Popis: OBJECTIVE There are two distinct approaches for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS). The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the count-based and geometrical approach in clinical data using gated single photon emission computed tomography MPS. MATERIAL AND METHODS Group 1 consisted of 113 patients (49 men, 64 women) with normal perfusion [summed rest score (SRS)≤3], normal LV ejection fraction (≥55%), and normal QRS duration (QRSd
