Prognostic value of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony induced by exercise stress in patients with normal myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLeft ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) induced by exercise stress was reported to be clinically useful in detecting multivessel coronary artery diseases. The aim of this study was to compare the prognostic value of LVMD induced by pharmacological stress with that induced by exercise stress.
methodsWe retrospectively examined 918 consecutive patients who underwent exercise (N = 310) or pharmacological stress (N = 608)
resultsDuring the follow-up period (2.2 ± 1.9 years), 74 major cardiac events (MCEs) occurred (7 cases of cardiac death, 17 cases of heart failure, and 50 cases of coronary intervention). In global patients, the indices of LVMD on rest images were significantly greater in patients with MCEs (bandwidth (°): 51 ± 31 vs 37 ± 21, P = .001, PSD: 14 ± 9 vs 10 ± 6, P = .001). The exercise stress bandwidth was significantly higher in patients with MCEs (62 ± 37° vs 42 ± 21°, P = .026), as was the pharmacological stress bandwidth (57 ± 35° vs 43 ± 24°, P = .006). Multivariate analysis demonstrated the exercise stress bandwidth to be an independent predictor of MCEs (HR 1.017, CI 1.003 to 1.032, P = .019), but the pharmacological stress bandwidth had no influence on MCEs.
conclusionsLVMD induced by exercise stress was an independent predictor of MCEs in patients with normal perfusion SPECT, whereas that induced by pharmacological stress had no association with further events.
