We appreciate the interest in our work,1 in which we have attempted to delineate a possible algorithm to use tissue doppler imaging (TDI)-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as a complement to evidence-based clinical guidelines in the management of patients with severe heart failure.

Dr Soliman et al. suggest that echocardiographic left ventricle (LV) dyssynchrony can be assessed by the ‘spectral’ TDI lateral-to-septal delay whereas ‘colour-encoded’ TDI (regardless of the LV segment model used) is of limited value because several inherited . . . [Full Text of this Article]
