Different habitus but similar electrocardiogram: Cardiac repolarization parameters in children & #8211; Comparison of elite athletes to obese children

Conclusions: This study suggests that neither obesity nor extensive sports seems to result in pathological cardiac repolarization parameters in healthy children. Therefore, pathology has to be assumed if abnormal repolarization parameters are seen and might not be simply attributed to the child's habitus or an excellent level of fitness.
