Myocardial strain and tissue Doppler imaging in Kawasaki disease reveal selective abnormalities, specifically reduced GLS and GCS, lower e' velocity, and impaired LASr.
Does myocardial strain imaging and Tissue Doppler Imaging detect diastolic and systolic function abnormalities in Kawasaki Disease?
Myocardial strain imaging and Tissue Doppler Imaging detect selective systolic and diastolic abnormalities in Kawasaki Disease, highlighting their utility in identifying subclinical myocardial dysfunction.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
KD is associated with reduced (|GLS| and |GCS|), lower e' velocity, and impaired LASr, while E/e', GRS, and LAVI show no significant overall differences. These findings indicate selective abnormalities detected by myocardial strain imaging and TDI rather than uniform systolic and diastolic impairment, with subgroup results interpreted as exploratory.
