Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) enables assessment of velocities and timings within the left (LV) and the right (RV) ventricle with high temporal resolution. Knowledge on normal age-related values of peak systolic velocities and timings in healthy children may optimize the benefit of device-based therapies in paediatric patients with heart failure.
