Ultrasonic textural data at interventricular septum and posterior wall in children with Down’s syndrome with and without (control group) subclinical hypothyroidism
| DS and SH n = 16</emph> | Control group with DS n = 25 | |
|---|---|---|
| No differences between the two groups were statistically significant. | ||
| DS, Down’s syndrome; SH, subclinical hypothyroidism; CVIVS, cyclic variation at interventricular septum; CVPW, cyclic variation at left ventricular posterior wall; INTIVS, averaged intensity at interventricular septum; INTPW, averaged intensity at left ventricular posterior wall. | ||
| CVIVS | 9.8 (1.5) | 10.2 (2.2) |
| CVPW | 11.3 (3.7) | 12 (2.4) |
| INTIVS(dB) | −35 (4) | −33.6 (5.5) |
| INTPW(dB) | −31 (3.8) | −30.7 (5.9) |
