Table 2. The sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of electrical dyssynchrony (present diagnosis using the intra+interDC together with TC and TC alone in all patients and in subgroups).
| Criterion-subgroup | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV(%) | NPV(%) |
| Intra+interDC: intraventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony criteria; LBBB: left bundle branch block; NICD: nonspecific intraventricular conduction disturbance; NPV: negative predictive value; PPV: positive predictive value; TC: traditional criteria. The sensitivity of TC was always 100% and the specificity and NPV 0, because patient selection to CRT was based on the TC. Reproduced with permission from Ref. 17. | ||||
