1 Here, we aimed to research the relation between QTc, hepatic steatosis, and CIMT among obese children. qtc CIMT Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that obese children had higher CIMT and QTc values as well as more frequent hepatosteatosis, and that the presence of hepatosteatosis or increased CIMT had an association with prolonged QTc values in obese children. qtc CIMT Homo sapiens
3 Therefore, with the aim of detecting cardiovascular effects of obesity, it may be beneficial to perform the measurements of QTc in the presence of hepatosteatosis and/or increased CIMT among obese children. qtc CIMT Homo sapiens
