Subclinical markers of cardiometabolic risk in obese children and adolescents

Abstract

The significant spread of obesity among adults and children represents a relevant problem for the modern health care system. Diagnosis and correction of the earliest signs of cardiometabolic disorders in children with obesity are necessary since their monitoring and modification allow to influence the development and prognosis of cardiovascular pathology in the future. This article highlights the current knowledge on the markers of cardiovascular risks such as dyslipidemia, the level of trimethylamine N-oxide, the state of epicardial adipose tissue, and the initial signs of myocardial remodeling.
