Why the study?
Do infants with Kawasaki disease have more severe coronary artery aneurysms compared to older children?
Do infants with Kawasaki disease have more severe coronary artery aneurysms compared to older children?
Infants diagnosed with Kawasaki disease require very close long-term monitoring due to a higher risk of severe coronary artery dilation and aneurysms compared to older children.
Infants with Kawasaki disease have more severe coronary artery dilation compared with older children, and a higher prevalence of medium and giant aneurysms. Because adverse outcomes are closely linked to the maximal coronary artery diameter in Kawasaki disease, patients diagnosed as infants require very close long-term monitoring for cardiac complications.
