| Popis: | BACKGROUND Strain echocardiography is a reliable echocardiographic modality to measure myocardial mechanical deformation and evaluate regional and global myocardial systolic function, and has been demonstrated to be a useful tool for the evaluation of cardiac function in children with acquired and congenital heart diseases. Recent advancements in echocardiographic technology allow to analyze myocardial strain in multiple layers. To our knowledge, there are no published reference values for echocardiographic multilayer-specific strain measurement. AIM OF THE STUDY Aim of our study was to establish normal reference values for left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain (LS) in a wide population of Italian children and to provide normal reference values of layer-specific LS in a healthy pediatric population. METHODS AND RESULT At present we have analyzed data from two-hundred (target: n = 500) healthy, consecutive subjects (age CONCLUSIONS We provide preliminary data on 200 children to establish normal reference values for echocardiographic multilayer-specific strain measurement in a wide population of healthy italian children.
