lesions in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). Background. The vascular function of the …

Objectives. To examine the development of coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease, we
assessed the functional behavior and morphology of coronary arteries by intravascular …

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence has suggested that patients display altered arterial
elasticity after Kawasaki disease (KD). However, changes in the elastic properties of the …

Objective: To determine coronary artery diameter change before and after an intracoronary
infusion of isosorbide dinitrate in patients who have had Kawasaki disease, we performed …

In coronary artery aneurysms associated with Kawasaki disease, a significant decrease in
coronary flow velocity together with an abnormal flow profile and a reduction in coronary …

The involvement of the cardiovascular system in rabbits with serum sickness is similar of that
in Kawasaki disease, both with respect to the histologic changes of the myocardium, the …

OBJECTIVES To investigate the long term consequences of regressed aneurysms after
Kawasaki disease, using follow up coronary angiography; to assess the vascular wall …

Background Intimal lesions observed in the coronary arteries (CAs) of patients who have
suffered episodes of Kawasaki disease (KD) raise concern about the premature …

Accurate evaluation of the extent of coronary artery lesions complicating Kawasaki disease
is clinically important in patient management. Based on a total of 188 coronary angiograms …

During the convalescent phase of Kawasaki disease, structural and functional abnormalities
of the coronary and systemic arteries are variably present, and may be independent of the …
