متن کاملCross-sectional echocardiographic diagnosis of coronary artery aneurysms in patients with the mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome.
Real-time cross-sectional echocardiographic studies revealed the presence of coronary artery aneurysms in five patients with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. These lesions appeared as circular echo-free spaces with clearly-defined borders in sites corresponding to angiographically proven aneurysms. In 15 normal subjects who were studied only by noninvasive methods, and in 17 who had normal co...
