Objectives: We determined the profile of cardiovascular risk factors in children late after
Kawasaki disease (KD) and compared it with that of age-matched healthy children …

OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that long-term survivors of low-risk Kawasaki disease
(KD) have ongoing vascular inflammation and dysfunction and a higher risk of accelerated …

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether patients after Kawasaki disease (KD) have increased risk
factors and abnormalities suggestive of early atherosclerosis in systemic arteries. STUDY …

Objectives: To determine cardiovascular risk profiles of patients with Kawasaki disease and
to relate them to a noninvasive measure of endothelial function. Study design: Case-control …

Studies of subclinical vascular changes post‐Kawasaki disease indicate that, in general,
individuals with a history of coronary artery aneurysms have increased carotid intima–media …

The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that accelerated endothelial
dysfunction and the development of premature atherosclerosis are associated with age in …

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine whether school-aged children with
Kawasaki disease (KD) have an increased risk for early atherosclerosis. Methods The study …

To assess the existence of endothelial dysfunction and the possibility of the early onset of
atherosclerosis in the chronic stage of Kawasaki disease (KD), we examined endothelial …

Objectives. The severity of carotid arteriosclerosis, defined as increased intima-media
thickness (IMT) visible with B-mode ultrasound, is correlated with risk factors for coronary …

Cardiac sequelae of Kawasaki disease are an important cause of ischemic heart disease in
