There are discordant data about the utility of septal-to-posterior wall motion delay (SPWMD) assessed using M-mode echocardiography to predict an improvement with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Baseline SPWMD was measured using M-mode in a parasternal short-axis view in a series of 67 patients undergoing CRT and followed up after 6 months. Heart failure was caused by coronary artery disease in 27 patients. Clinical responders were patients who were alive, had not undergone heart transplantation, and also increased the distance walked in 6 minutes by >10%. Baseline SPWMDs were mean 155 +/- 113 ms and median 135. Thirty-four patients (51%) had an SPWMD >130 ms. At 6-month follow-up, there were 17 nonresponders. At baseline, there were no significant differences between patients with SPWMD >130 or <130 ms in age, drug therapy, permanent atrial fibrillation, New York Heart Association functional class, underlying cause of cardiomyopathy, QRS duration, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, LV dimensions, or neurohormonal activation (norepinephrine and atrial and brain natriuretic peptide). At 6-month follow-up, baseline SPWMD was not associated with clinical response, New York Heart Association functional class, distance walked in 6 minutes, LV reverse remodeling, or neurohormonal activation. SPWMD >130 ms was also not a predictor. In conclusion, SPWMD is not a good predictor of response to CRT.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
