## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a method for quantifying left ventricular (LV) internal flow as a measure of dyssynchrony using standard cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. ## Materials and Methods CMR images were obtained from 10 healthy controls and 10 patients with dyssynchronous
Despite the guidelines for patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), one third of the patients do not benefit from the therapy. We show that internal flow fraction (IFF), an MRI-based dyssynchrony measure, was higher in responders to CRT than the non-responders. Therefore, IFF c
