Background. The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) in patients with LV aneurysm (LVA) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the long-term prognostic value of LVMD in LVA patients. Methods. 92 consecutive patients who underwent 99mTc-sestamibi-gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (GSPECT) were retrospectively analyzed and followed-up for a median of 63 months (range, 1-73 months). LV function and histogram bandwidth (BW) were analyzed by QGS software. LVMD was defined by ROC analysis. Cardiac death was defined as the primary endpoint, and the composite of cardiac deaths and severe or acute heart failure (MACE) as the secondary endpoint. Results. The annual cardiac mortality rate of LVA patients with LVMD and treated by surgical therapy was significantly lower than those treated by medical therapy (2.40% vs. 6.40%, P < .05) but not annual MACE rate (6.61% vs. 10.06%, P > .05). In patients without LVMD, no significant difference in survival and MACE-free survival between medical and surgical treatment. In addition, the occurrence of LVMD is related to the worsen cardiac outcome in terms of MACE and cardiac death, independent of the treatment methods. BW was an independent predictor for MACE (HR 1.010, P < .01) and LVEF (HR .928, P < .05) was an Xia Lu and Min Zhao have contributed equally to the manuscript.
