Submitted for the DFD10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Hemodynamic simulations in coronary aneurysms of a patient with Kawasaki Disease DIBYENDU SENGUPTA, ALISON MARSDEN, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dept, UCSD, JANE BURNS, Pediatrics Dept, UCSD — Kawasaki Disease is the leading cause of acquired pediatric heart disease, and can cause large coronary artery aneurysms in untreated cases. A simulation case study has been performed for a 10-year-old male patient with coronary aneurysms. Specialized coronary boundary conditions along with a lumped parameter heart model mimic the interactions between the ventricles and the coronary arteries, achieving physiologic pressure and flow waveforms. Results show persistent low shear stress in the aneurismal regions, and abnormally high shear at the aneurysm neck. Correlation functions have been derived to compare wall shear stress and wall shear stress gradients with recirculation time with the idea of localizing zones of calcification and thrombosis. Results are compared with those of an artificially created normal coronary geometry for the same patient. The long-term goal of this work is to develop links between hemodynamics and thrombotic risk to assist in clinical decision-making.

Background & Aims: Kawasaki disease is an acute multisystem vasculitis that primarily occurs in infants and young children. Pincer nail deformity is not from classic signs of Kawasaki disease and its occurrence with Kawasaki disease is rare, and concomitant occurrence of it with coronary artery aneurysm in Kawasaki disease is rarer. Case report: A three-month-old infant was admitted to hospita...

Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory disorder of medium-sized arteries that predominantly affects cardiac coronary arteries and children under the age of 5 years. Cardiac involvement usually happens later than 10 days after the onset of illness. Most of cardiac complications are coronary artery abnormalities (ectasia or aneurysms) and subclinical myocarditis. Clinical myocarditis (symptoma...

Kawasaki disease is one of the major causes of acquired heart disease of children in developed countries. This study was performed to determine the frequency of cardiac sequelae of kawasaki disease and related risk factors based on a descriptive cross-sectional study between 1994-1999 in the pediatric ward of AI-Zahra Hospital of Isfahan. Out of 45 patients, 29 were male (64.4%) and 16 wer...
