Abstract：Objective: To assess the changes of left and right ventricular function in children with simple obesity using Doppler Tei index. Methods: Left and right ventricular Tei index, ejection fraction and other indexes were calculated with Aloka SSD-5500 ultrasonic system in 30 normal children and 66 children with simple obesity. Results: The left and right ventricular Tei index are both higher in the children with simple obesity than in the normal children(P<0.01). Conclusion: Tei index can be used to access ventricular function in children with simple obesity, and it is an accurate, practical method.
