摘要

PurposePredicting response after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been a challenge of cardiologists. About 30% of selected patients based on the standard selection criteria for CRT do not show response after receiving the treatment. This study is aimed to build an intelligent classifier to assist in identifying potential CRT responders by speckle-tracking radial strain based on echocardiograms.
