Type II activation describes the U-shaped electrical activation of the left ventricle (LV) with a line of block in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). We sought to determine if a corresponding pattern of contraction could be identified using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) cine imaging and whether this predicted response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
