Sequential Changes in Left Ventricular Systolic Myocardial Deformation Mechanics in Children with Recurrent Kawasaki Disease.
Soo Jung KangBo Kyeong JinSeo Jung HwangHyo Jin KimPublished in: Journal of cardiovascular imaging (2018)
Subclinical decreases in myocardial systolic deformation, as evidenced by decreased LV longitudinal peak systolic ε, may persist in children in the convalescent phase of recurrent KD; further studies involving larger numbers of patients may be needed for verification.
