Included in the evaluation were 8 M-mode echocardiographic measurements, ie, aortic root diameter, left atrial diameter, and end-diastolic and end-systolic measurements of interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular (LV) diameter, and LV posterior wall thickness; 8 Doppler measurements; and a calculated LV mass. Means and SDs of the differences of the paired measurements were used to assess the relative bias and random error of the measurements. For the intraobserver comparison, means and SDs of the differences were very small, indicating that the echo measurements were performed consistently by each project echo technician. Interobserver comparison showed statistically but not clinically significant differences between the paired readings of end-diastolic septal thickness, end-systolic LV posterior wall thickness, and 5 Doppler measurements. Comparison with reference readings at Texas Children\u2019s Hospital showed significant differences in diastolic LV diameter, systolic septal thickness, and right ventricular ejection time. These differences, however, were minimal with limited clinical significance. Mean differences in LV mass for the corresponding comparisons were \u20131.82, 4.50, and 0.0013 g, and the SDs were 18.79, 24.16, and 12.35 g, respectively. We conclude that the echocardiographic measurements taken from healthy children in a longitudinal study can be made accurately with acceptable reproducibility.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.34.2.236","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:53:46Z","timestamp":1339462426000},"page":"236-241","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Validity of Echocardiographic Measurement in an Epidemiological Study"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Shifan","family":"Dai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Texas\u2013Houston Health Science Center, School of Public Health (S.D., R.B.H., D..L.), and the Texas Children\u2019s Hospital (N.A.A., J.T.B.), Houston, Tex."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nancy A.","family":"Ayres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Texas\u2013Houston Health Science Center, School of Public Health (S.D., R.B.H., D..L.), and the Texas Children\u2019s Hospital (N.A.A., J.T.B.), Houston, Tex."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald B.","family":"Harrist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the University of Texas\u2013Houston Health Science Center, School of Public Health (S.D., R.B.H., D..L.), and the Texas Children\u2019s Hospital (N.A.A., J.T.B.), Houston, Tex."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
