Heart Rate, Responsiveness to Intravenous Immunoglobulin, and Coronary Artery Aneurysms in Kawasaki Disease

In patients with Kawasaki disease , HRs has a different relationship with IVIG responsiveness and CALs. Low HRZage/temp might be associated with high risk of being refractory to the initial IVIG treatment, while the risk of developing CALs increased among those whose HRs were high. Further studies are necessary to investigate the mechanisms regarding HR and these outcomes in Kawasaki disease.
