What does this research mean for the field?

Childhood obesity is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and subclinical changes in right ventricular and septal diastolic function, which correlate with higher BMI, insulin, and lipid levels. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Why the study?

Does obesity alter echocardiographic parameters of ventricular function and correlate with metabolic markers in children?

Population

30 obese children and an age-matched control group

Comparison

Obesity (exposure) vs Age-matched control group

Design

Case-control

Authors

SKSibel Tulgar KınıkBaşkent University BVBirgül VaranBaşkent University Hospital SYS.V. YıldırımBaşkent University

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Obesity-associated ventricular remodeling in children warrants monitoring; leaves open whether early intervention improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does obesity alter echocardiographic parameters of ventricular function and correlate with metabolic markers in children?

Population

30 obese children and an age-matched control group

Intervention

Obesity (exposure)

Comparator

Age-matched control group

Outcome

Ventricular function evaluated by conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)surrogate

Childhood obesity is associated with increased left ventricular mass and subclinical changes in diastolic function of the right ventricle and interventricular septum.
