Analysis of ultrasound coronary parameters and blood red cell distribution width and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide concentrations following coronary lesions in children with Kawasaki disease

Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory condition primarily affecting the young children. It can lead to coronary artery abnormalities, which can worsen the prognosis. Early diagnosis of coronary disease is crucial for the effective treatment and the prognosis evaluation. To explore the clinical significance of ultrasound examination characteristics, peripheral blood red cell distribution width, and changes in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels for the early detect coronary artery abnormality in children with Kawasaki disease.
