Whole-body iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine imaging for detection of bone metastases in patients with paraganglioma: comparison with bone scintigraphy.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the established treatment for patients with chronic and severe heart failure, and it has been reported that the presence of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is one of the most important factors which predict positive response of this therapy. In the present study,...
