Cross-correlation quantification of dyssynchrony: a new method for quantifying the synchrony of contraction and relaxation in the heartBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
J Am Soc Echocardiogr 20:1330-1337.e1. 2007..Most methods used to quantify dyssynchrony use a time-to-peak analysis, which is quantitatively simplistic and requires manual identification of systole and selection of peak velocities...
Effects of region of interest tracking on the diagnosis of left ventricular dyssynchrony from Doppler tissue imagesBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
J Am Soc Echocardiogr 21:234-40. 2008..The error caused by use of a stationary ROI may affect the diagnosis of dyssynchrony, but this has not been quantified...
Variability in tissue Doppler echocardiographic measures of dyssynchrony is reduced with use of a larger region of interestBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
J Am Soc Echocardiogr 22:478-85.e3. 2009..In this study, the authors hypothesized that using larger regions of interest (ROIs) to generate velocity curves from Doppler tissue images would significantly reduce the variability of DTI dyssynchrony parameters...
Acute pacing-induced dyssynchronous activation of the left ventricle creates systolic dyssynchrony with preserved diastolic synchronyBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Biomedical Engineering, 101 Woodruff Circle, Suite 2001, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 19:483-8. 2008..We therefore hypothesized that acute RVA pacing would cause diastolic dyssynchrony in addition to creating systolic dyssynchrony...
Resynchronization and strain recovery following reimplantation of anomalous coronary artery: a tissue Doppler and three-dimensional echocardiographic studyBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA
Congenit Heart Dis 2:58-63. 2007..However, segmental contractility improved significantly but remained depressed at discharge. The immediate recovery observed following reimplantation of anomalous coronary may be largely due to resynchronization...
Quantification of left ventricular internal flow from cardiac magnetic resonance images in patients with dyssynchronous heart failureBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
J Magn Reson Imaging 28:375-81. 2008..To develop a method for quantifying left ventricular (LV) internal flow as a measure of dyssynchrony using standard cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images...
Cross-correlation delay to quantify myocardial dyssynchrony from phase contrast magnetic resonance (PCMR) velocity dataJana G Delfino
Department of Radiology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
J Magn Reson Imaging 28:1086-91. 2008..To apply cross-correlation delay (XCD) analysis to myocardial phase contrast magnetic resonance (PCMR) tissue velocity data and to compare XCD to three established "time-to-peak" dyssynchrony parameters...
Agreement is poor among current criteria used to define response to cardiac resynchronization therapyBrandon K Fornwalt
Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Radiology, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
Circulation 121:1985-91. 2010..No study has investigated agreement among these response criteria. We hypothesized that the agreement among the various response criteria would be poor...

Department of Radiology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
J Magn Reson Imaging 27:1382-7. 2008..To evaluate the reproducibility of a new multisite axial pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement technique that makes use of 2D PCMR data and cross-correlation analysis...
Role of MRI in patient selection for CRTJana G Delfino
Department of Radiology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
Echocardiography 25:1176-85. 2008..The goal of this manuscript is to review the MRI methods that can be used in the selection of patients for CRT...
Determination of transmural, endocardial, and epicardial radial strain and strain rate from phase contrast MR velocity dataJana G Delfino
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
J Magn Reson Imaging 27:522-8. 2008..To develop a method for computing radial strain (epsilon) and strain rate (SR) from phase contrast magnetic resonance (PCMR) myocardial tissue velocity data...
