To evaluate whether transthoracic Doppler echocardiography can reliably measure coronary flow velocity and coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) in the posterior descending coronary artery (PD) in children, we examined 32 patients who had congenital heart disease (ventricular septal defect in 10, tetralogy of Fallot in 6, tricuspid atresia in 3, double-outlet right ventricle in 2, patent ductus arteriosus in 2, and aortic valve stenosis in 2) and 7 patients who had a history of Kawasaki disease without stenosis or aneurysm formation of the coronary artery. Average peak flow velocity (APV) in the PD was measured by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography at the time of intracoronary Doppler study. CFVR was defined as the ratio of hyperemic to basal APV. Clear envelopes of basal and hyperemic APV in the PD were obtained in 23 of 32 patients by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography. APV obtained from transthoracic Doppler echocardiography correlated highly with that from the Doppler guidewire method (r=0.91). The mean difference between transthoracic Doppler echocardiography and the Doppler guidewire method was 0.1+/-2.9. There was an excellent correlation between transthoracic Doppler echocardiography and the Doppler guidewire method for the measurements of CFVR (r=0.84). The mean difference between transthoracic Doppler echocardiography and Doppler guidewire was -0.016+/-0.198. Noninvasive measurement of coronary flow velocity and CFVR in the PD using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography accurately reflects invasive measurement of coronary flow velocity and CFVR by the Doppler guidewire method in pediatric patients with various heart diseases.
