Intraventricular dyssynchrony and commonly associated prolonged atrioventricular conduction both reduce diastolic filling time (DFT), which can be improved by cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Our aim was to investigate whether change in DFT corrected for RR interval (DFTC) after CRT might serve to assess the mechanistic response to CRT.
