Resumen

OZORES SUAREZ, Francisco Javier. Tricuspid annular displacement in normal children measured by an extrapolated echocardiographic program. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2013, vol.85, n.3, pp.338-345. ISSN 0034-7531.

Introduction: the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a useful parameter to evaluate the right ventricular function in pediatric patients. Objectives: to show the normal values of TAPSE in Cuban children by age groups, and to describe their relationship with the age, the left ventricular output, the pulmonary acceleration time and the ejection fraction of the left ventricle. Methods: a prospective study included 102 normal children to whom TAPSE was measured by adapting the program for distance mensuration between point E and the interventricular septum. Results: average TAPSE was 19.4 mm (DS±6) with mean values equal to 9.5 mm in the first week up to 21.2 mm at 5 years and 24.1 in older children. There was significant positive correlation between TAPSE figures and age (r= 0.679) described in equation TAPSE= 13.2787 + 5.2354 log (X). The TAPSE values were presented in five age groups. It was also found that there was significant correlation among TAPSE, pulmonary acceleration time and systolic output of the left ventricle. Conclusions: there exist five well-defined age groups, the major changes occur before 5 years of age and log relation was found among TAPSE, age and pulmonary acceleration time. The used program is recommended as an alternative to measure TAPSE.
