Abstract

Background: Obesity is becoming a public and personal health crisis. The future of these populations' cardiovascular health is projected to be significantly affected by the rise in the occurrence of childhood & adolescent obesity. Aim of the study: To assess using both conventional & tissue Doppler imaging to evaluate the anatomy & diastolic function of the left ventricle (LV) in children and adolescents from Egypt who are overweight or obese. Methods: This prospective case-control study that was conducted on 90 children and adolescents (30 obese, 30 overweight, and 30 age- and gender-matched non-obesity controls) at Al-Hussein and Saied Galal Al-Azhar University Hospitals between March 2022 and March 2023. Results: There's little variation among the studied groups in terms of LV morphology, but there is a significant difference in terms of MV E wave & A wave and E/A ratio.      Left ventricular structural and functional changes are predominantly expressed as a shift in diastolic function, even while global systolic function is conserved. It appears that the severity of obesity amplifies these changes
