Fig. 2From: Impaired right ventricular contractile function in childhood obesity and its association with right and left ventricular changes: a cine DENSE cardiac magnetic resonance studyObese children across all ages have reduced longitudinal strain in the free wall of the RV. There was no difference between the slopes of the two lines while the intercepts were significantly different (p = 0.02), suggesting a difference in RV longitudinal strain independent of age between the healthy and obese/overweight groupsBack to article page
