Novel indices for left-ventricular dyssynchrony characterization based on highly automated segmentation from real-time 3-d echocardiography.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using a biventricular pacemaker is an invasive and expensive treatment option for left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD). The CRT candidate selection is a crucial issue due to the unreliability of the current standard CRT indicators. Real-time three-d...

      ab: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using a biventricular pacemaker is an invasive and expensive treatment option for left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD). The CRT candidate selection is a crucial issue due to the unreliability of the current standard CRT indicators. Real-time three-dimensional (3-D) echocardiography (RT3DE) provides four-dimensional (4-D) (3-D+time) information about the LV and is suitable for LVMD assessment. In this article, the complex left ventricle (LV) shape and motion of 50 RT3DE datasets are represented by novel 4-D descriptors - 4-D sphericity, volume and shape, from which novel indices were derived by principal component analysis (PCA) and subsequently analyzed by a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to assess their capability of LVMD characterization and CRT outcome prediction. These novel indices outperformed clinical indices and have promising capabilities in disease characterization and great potential in CRT outcome prediction. To enable efficient quantitative RT3DE analysis, a segmentation method was developed to combine the powers of active shape models and optimal graph search. Various aspects of the method were designed to handle varying RT3DE image quality among datasets and LV segments. An application with graphical user interface was developed to provide the user with simple and intuitive control. The developed method was robust to inter-observer variability and produced very good accuracy - 3.2±1.1 mm absolute surface positioning error, <1 mm mean signed error and <5% mean volume difference. The computer method's classification performance was compared with the independent standard, showing that the 4-D shape modal indices were not only the most capable of all tested options when employed for disease characterization but also the least sensitive to segmentation imperfections.
