The Relationship between Coronary Artery Aneurysm and QT Interval Dispersion in Acute Phase of Kawasaki Disease
OBJECTIVE QT dispersion (QTd) has been proposed as a marker of ventricular repolarization inhomogeneity and several investigations have proved the relationship between it and cardiac ischemia, ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The aim of this study was to assess the relation between coronary artery involvement and QTd, and QTc dispersion (QTcd) in the acute phase of Kawasaki dise...
متن کاملEvaluation of iron status in patients with coronary artery disease
Background: Iron can causes lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. Iron promotes myocardial injury in experimental animals. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by oxidants including iron have a central role in atherosclerotic process. By this means, evaluation of serum iron in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has a significant importance. Materials and Methods: In this cross s...
متن کاملCoronary artery dilatation in Incomplete Kawasaki disease.
We conducted this study to compare the incidence of coronary artery dilatation in children with Incomplete and Classical Kawasaki disease, diagnosed as per AHA criteria. Subjects were included on a retrospective review of records (2002-2007); those with a discharge diagnosis of Kawasaki disease were enrolled. A total of 29 patients were identified (3.1 per 1000 pediatric admissions), out of whi...
متن کاملCoronary vessel wall assessment after Kawasaki Disease
Introduction 2D cross-sectional Dual-Inversion-Recovery (DIR) blackblood imaging of the coronary arteries has been used to assess Kawasaki Disease (KD) (Greil et al. 2007). A 3D coronary black-blood approach, however, has been shown to provide better coverage of the coronary tree (Botnar et al 2001). Furthermore, uptake of gadolinium contrast agent in coronary walls may indicate on-going inflam...
