“…Low frame rates have also been hypothesized to decrease the agreement of strain and synchrony measurements with other vendors that analyze the images at high frame rates. TomTec also imports images with lower fidelity compared to the raw image files used by the vendor dependent platforms, potentially influencing spatial resolution and decreasing the tracking reliability of the speckle patterns [16]. In our study, we demonstrated that LV longitudinal and circumferential strain showed excellent agreement when using TomTec at high and low frame rates in children with normal cardiac anatomy and ventricular paced rhythm, similar to recent reports in children [15,16], and adults [17].…”

“…The findings in this study imply that the technical characteristics of the tested software packages coupled with the patient population likely have a combined impact on the measurement results. Few studies have addressed the inter-vendor variability of longitudinal and circumferential strain measurements in children [12,15,16,18,19]. The EACVI/ASE developed a Task Force to standardize deformation imaging and initially concluded from head-to-head comparison of nine different vendors in adults only (including Tom-Tec Image Arena 2D CPA 1.2 and QLAB version 10.0) that global LV longitudinal strain was feasible and comparable, and in many cases superior to conventional echocardiographic parameters such as volumes and ejection fraction [13].…”
