Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical value of two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2DE-STI) by measuring global longitudinal strain (GLS) in normal children.Methods Totally 176 normal children underwent cardiac ultrasound examination,the left ventricular GLS were measured,and the difference of GLS between gender was analyzed.And the changes of GLS with body surface area (BSA) and age were discussed.Results GLS had no significant difference between male and female ([-24.90 ± 2.06]％ vs [-24.93 ± 2.01]％,t =0.83,P =0.934).GLS had significant differences among different BSA groups (F=3.84,P =0.003),and the differences of GLS in BSA＞ 1.0 group and the other five groups were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).GLS had statistically significant differences among different age groups (F=4.81,P=0.001),and the differences of GLS in ＞9 years old group and the other four groups were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Left ventricular GLS presents certain regularity with children's growth.
