Abstract
Introduction: Two-dimensional strain analysis is a powerful analysis modality, however, clinical utilization has been limited by variability between different analysis systems and operators. We compared strain in adults and children using vendor-specific and vendor-independent software to evaluate variability.Methods: One hundred and ten subjects (50/110 pediatric, 80/110 normal left ventricular function) had echocardiograms with a General Electric ultrasound scanner between September 2010 and January 2012. Left ventricular longitudinal strain was derived with EchoPAC (General Electric, v10.8.1), a vendor-specific software, and Velocity Vector Imaging (Siemens, v3.5), which is vendor-independent. Three independent readers analyzed all the echocardiograms yielding 330 datasets.Results: Mean left ventricular global longitudinal Lagrangian strain was -18.1 ± SD 4.4% for EchoPAC and -15.3 ± SD 4.1% for Velocity Vector Imaging. Velocity Vector Imaging yielded lower absolute global longitudinal Lagrangian strain by mean 2.9 (±SD 2.7, p Conclusion: Velocity Vector Imaging produces lower left ventricular longitudinal strain values versus EchoPAC for the same echo images. Both systems have similar inter-observer variability, Velocity Vector Imaging slightly higher intra-observer variability. A statistically significant change in global longitudinal Lagrangian strain occurs with changes >3-5 strain points on repeat measurements. Strain values between the systems are not interchangeable.
