Abstract
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is an important disorder in obese children because it is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a role in the development of IR due to secreted bioactive molecules, and the inflammatory process of these molecules may cause atrial electromechanical delay (EMD).
