Sixty-nine children underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiography.
- class="label">•
No difference in age, body mass index, and left ventricular mass index between groups by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
- class="label">•
One-third of all children had left ventricular hypertrophy.
- class="label">•
Ratio of left ventricular hypertrophy in obese significantly higher than in nonobese.
- class="label">•
Left ventricular mass index correlated strongly with body mass index z score but not with any blood pressure parameter.
