Coronary artery dimensions in febrile children without Kawasaki disease.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery (CA) dilatation on echocardiography is a criterion for treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin for incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD). However, CA dimensions for febrile children are unknown. We compared CA dimensions in children with febrile illnesses other than KD to those of normal afebrile children and to KD patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed echocardiog...
متن کاملRisk factors for persistence of coronary artery abnormalities in Turkish children with Kawasaki disease.
The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for persistence of coronary artery abnormalities (CAAs) in Kawasaki disease and to compare the differences between complete (n=25) and incomplete (n=18) forms of the disease in relation to CAAs. The patients' demographic (age and sex), clinical (season of admission, duration of fever, form of Kawasaki disease), laboratory (complete blood co...
متن کاملCoronary artery abnormalities in Kawasaki disease according to patient age
Background and aims Kawasaki disease (KD) is considered the leading cause of acquired heart disease in childhood in developed countries. Despite diagnose this disease is difficult in the case of infants, it is required a high clinical suspicion to ensure an early treatment. The aim of this study is compare clinical presentation and rate of coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) according to childr...
متن کاملEndothelial Function Tetrahydrobiopterin Improves Endothelial Dysfunction in Coronary Microcirculation in Patients Without Epicardial Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine whether intracoronary supplementation with nitric oxide (NO) synthase co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) improves NO-dependent coronary microvascular dilation in patients with coronary risk factors but no significant organic stenosis. BACKGROUND Impaired coronary microvascular dilator reserve attributable to endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in th...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease.
For several decades, the vascular endothelium was considered a unicellular layer acting as a semipermeable membrane between the blood and the interstitium. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the endothelium performs a large range of important biological functions, participating in several metabolic and regulatory pathways. Along with long-known specialized functions like gaseous exchange i...
