Pulmonary lung Doppler signals: normative data in a pediatric population compared with adults

In this study, we defined the normal LDS profile for healthy children and have demonstrated differences in LDS between children and adults. Specifically, healthy children had lower atrial contraction power, differences in ventricular compliance and increased chronotropic response. Further studies are warranted to investigate the application of this te chnology, for example as a tool to aid in the detection of pulmonary hypertension in children.
