Transthoracic Echocardiography in Children and Young Adults with Congenital Heart Disease
Table 1
Classification table for the TAPSV values of our healthy individuals. For the purpose of the study only echocardiograms with an official reading of completely normal study were accepted for analysis. The values in the classification table are shown as follows. For each age group the standard deviation (SD) of TAPSV values was taken to construct ranges of the mean ± 2SD and ±3SD. These ranges represent the expectable normal intervals of deviation for a certainty level of 95% and 99%. Abbreviations: BSA, body surface area; SD, standard deviation; TAPSV, tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity. Copyright from Koestenberger et al.
