Intervendor agreement of right ventricular global longitudinal strain in children

Right ventricular (RV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) emerged as an important technique for clinical evaluation of RV function. The routine application of RVGLS in pediatrics remains limited by the lack of data on agreement between vendors. We investigated the intervendor agreement of RVGLS between the two commonly used analysis vendors in pediatrics hypothesizing that RVGLS has good intervendor agreement although it is likely lower than intravendor agreement (inter and intraobserver reproducibility).
