Severely obese adolescents, in comparison with lean controls, had significantly reduced left ventricular longitudinal deformation parameters but increase ventricular twist and rotation, which represent compensatory mechanism to the decrease in longitudinal contractility.

This study showed that children with increased waist circumference have greater left ventricular mass, compared with those with normal waist circumference, pointing to a major role of visceral adiposity in the pathophysiology of altered ventricular structure in children.
