Perfusion and metabolic scintigraphy with (123)I-BMIPP in prognosis of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Objective The objective of the study was to investigate the left ventricular (LV) myocardial perfusion and metabolism in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and to identify the scintigraphic predictors of the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
