Ambulatory systolic blood pressure and obesity are independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophic remodeling in children

Abstract Background Children with obesity have hypertrophic cardiac remodeling. Hypertension is common in pediatric obesity, and may independently contribute to hypertrophy. We hypothesized that both the degree of obesity and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) would independently associate with measure...
