Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Tissue Doppler cross-correlation analysis has been shown to be associated with long-term survival after cardiac resynchronization defibrillator therapy (CRT-D). Its association with ventricular arrhythmia (VA) is unknown. From two centers 151 CRT-D patients (New York Heart Association functional classes II–IV, ejection fraction ≤ 35%, and QRS duration ≥ 120 msec) were prospectively included. Tissue Doppler cross-correlation analysis of myocardial acceleration curves from the basal segments in the apical views both at baseline and 6 months after CRT-D implantation was performed. Patients were divided into four subgroups on the basis of dyssynchrony at baseline and follow-up after CRT-D. Outcome events were predefined as appropriate antitachycardia pacing, shock, or death over 2 years. Mechanical dyssynchrony was present in 97 patients (64%) at baseline. At follow-up, 42 of these 97 patients (43%) had persistent dyssynchrony. Furthermore, among 54 patients with no dyssynchrony at baseline, 15 (28%) had onset of new dyssynchrony after CRT-D. In comparison with the group with reduced dyssynchrony, patients with persistent dyssynchrony after CRT-D were associated with a substantially increased risk for VA (hazard ratio [HR], 4.4; 95% CI, 1.2–16.3; P = .03) and VA or death (HR, 4.0; 95% CI, 1.7–9.6; P = .002) after adjusting for other covariates. Similarly, patients with new dyssynchrony had increased risk for VA (HR, 10.6; 95% CI, 2.8–40.4; P = .001) and VA or death (HR, 5.0; 95% CI, 1.8–13.5; P = .002). Persistent and new mechanical dyssynchrony after CRT-D was associated with subsequent complex VA. Dyssynchrony after CRT-D is a marker of poor prognosis.
