      <Abstract>Background: Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A direct effect of isolated obesity on cardiac function in young age is not well established. Objective: To determine the effect of obesity on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function by  2D Echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging technique. Materials and Methods: The LV function was evaluated in 30 normal weight subjects (body mass index (BMI) 25 kg/m2 ) in the age group of  20-40 years of both genders. They had no other pathological conditions. Peak early transmittal diastolic flow velocity (E), late transmitral diastolic flow velocity (A), early diastolic mitral annulus velocity (E1), isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT), and deceleration time(DT)  were measured.  E/A and E/E1were calculated. Results: The E/A was lower in obese subjects than in normal weight subjects (p &lt; 0.05). Overweight and obese subjects had lower E1 (p &lt; 0.05) and higher E/E1 (both P</Abstract>
