Normal reference values for left ventricular peak systolic longitudinal strain and strain rate in healthy children at different ages: a preliminary analysis
To analyze the normal reference values of left ventricular longitudinal peak systolic strain (LS) and strain rate (LSr) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) in healthy children at different ages.
Methods
2
Clinical ultrasound data of 330 healthy children who taking physical examination in our hospital from September 2015 to November 2016 were collected and retrospectively. They were divided into 7 groups according to their ages
that is
neonate group (0 to 28 days old)
infant group (28 days to 1 year old)
toddle group (1 to 3 years old)
pre-school group (3 to 6 years old)
school age group (6 to 9 years old)
pre-adolescence group (9 to 13 years old) and adolescence group (13 to 18 years old). 2D-STI was performed in the 3 apical projections of left ventricle (LV). The regional peak systolic longitudinal strain and strain rate of LV were measured.
Results
2
① Significant differences were found in the LS and LSr values from 6 segments of the same wall (
P
<
0.05)
and the LS and LSr values were gradually increased from basal segment to apical segment. ② There were no significant differences in the LS
LSr and global LS (GLS) values of 18 segments between sexes (
P
>
0.05). ③ Except the basal segments of posterior wall
inferior wall and posterior septum
LS value was gradually elevated with the increase of age (LS
neonate
<
LS
infant
<
LS
toddler
pre-school and school age
<
LS
pre-adolescence and adolescence
)
so was GLS value. ④ LS in 18 segments had a positive correlation with age
and the value of apical segment in lateral wall was most remarkably correlated (
r
=0.551
P
<
0.01); Regional LS had a negati
ve correlation with heart rate
and that of middle segment in lateral wall was the most apparent (
r
=-0.625
P
<
0.01); GLS was positively influenced by age (
r
=0.665
P
<
0.01) and negatively affected by heart rate (
r
=-0.625
P
<
0.01). ⑤ The heterogeneities were found in the correlations of regional LSr with age and heart rate in segments and in the LSr among different age groups.
Conclusion
2
Normal reference values of LV peak LS and LSr are established for healthy children at different ages
and they possess their own characteristics.
