Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate effect of longstanding obesity on cardiac function resulting in cardiomyopathy which may progress to heart failure in children and adolescents, to relate the level of plasma NT-Pro BNP biomarker to their echocardiographic findings and to compare these values to apparently healthy normal controls. Subjects and methods: A total of 80 obese children and adolescents who met the inclusion criteria were included in our study and 30 non obese healthy group matched for age and sex were taken as a control group regarding NT-pro BNP level, tissue velocity imaging and speckled tracking echocardiography finding
