Abstract

【Objective】 To evaluate the value of Coronary artery lesions caused by Kawasaki disease through colour Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment monitoring.【Methods】 In January 2008 to August of 2012,37 cases of children with a clinical diagnosis of Kawasaki disease and clinical echeardiography,two categorized groups of inspecting appearances:coronary artery ectasia and non-coronary artery ectasia were statistically analyzed.【Resluts】37 patients suffered coronary artery lesions,of which 12 cases LCA expansion,8 cases RCA expansion,16 cases with both LCA and RCA expansion and one with coronary artery aneurysms and ditinctive differences were between the two groups of testing appearances.【Conclusion】Dopplers ultrasound examination is not only to provide a basis for Coronary artery lesions caused by Kawasaki disease,but also valuable to its monitoring and treatment.
