Our study was aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise on heart rate corrected diastolic time in controls IDCM with and without LBBB and patients with LBBB and normal LV function. Methods 47 patients with IDCM 30 without LBBB and 17 with LBBB as well as 11 with isolated LBBB were studied during exercise using a combined hemodynamic-radionuclide angiographic approach. The phases of the cardiac cycle were derived with high temporal resolution from the ventricular time-activity curve. The loss of diastolic time per beat LDT was quantified using a regression equation obtained from a control group n 24 . Results A significant LDT was demonstrated at rest and during peak exercise in IDCM patients with LBBB 32 and 30 ms p . In IDCM patients with normal activation LDT was unaffected at baseline but elevated during peak exercise. This response was paralleled by an increase in interventricular mechanical dyssynchrony. Conclusion During exercise an abnormal shortening of LV .
