Abstract

Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) has become a useful tool in cardiology but remains scarcely developed in pediatrics. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of STE analyses in healthy children and compare reliability of STE for left and right ventricles (LV, RV) between the EchoPAC (GE Healthcare) and the QLAB (Philips Healthcare) software systems. Healthy children were screened for this prospective cross-sectional study. Analyses were performed upon five levels of variability: intra/inter-ultrasound system, intra/inter-sonographer and intra/inter-analyzer. The feasibility was measured, and the tracking quality informed. The study included 156 healthy children. Mean age was 7.6 ± 5 years [1 month–16.8 years]. Conventional echocardiography variables were similar in both ultrasound systems. For both software brands, the tracking quality was excellent in the LV longitudinal and circumferential displacements, but more limited in the RV free wall longitudinal strain. Inter-ultrasound system correlation was poor for global longitudinal and circumferential LV strain (ICC of 0.34 [IC95% 0.06–0.57]) and 0.12 [IC95% − 0.18 to − 0.40], respectively). We observed poor inter-sonographer reliability for both global LV longitudinal strain and global LV circumferential strain with the two software systems. Inter-analyzer variability was good especially for the global LV circumferential strain using Philips software (ICC of 0.78 [IC95% 0.52–0.91]). In pediatrics, the Philips/GE inter-vendor level of variability in STE analysis is mainly due to inter ultrasound systems and inter sonographers’ differences. These results need to be taken into account when using STE analysis in the follow-up of cardiac children. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02056925.
