Speckle-tracking strain analysis provides additive data to the assessment of pediatric and congenital heart disease; however, the variety of strain analysis software platforms by different vendors and the lack of data on intervendor strain agreement in children have limited its utility. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intervendor agreement of strain on two commonly used analysis platforms in pediatrics by layer of myocardium and data compression.
