Retrospective study of the impact of unrecognised Kawasaki disease, coronary aneurysm and ectasia

As the first UK study to characterise the angiographic prevalence of Kawasaki Disease, both aneurysm and ectasia were observed with a relatively low frequency. However, their presence is associated with high-risk acute ischaemic presentations. Furthermore, we demonstrated a poor level of reporting of coronary abnormalities and advocate an increased awareness of Kawasaki disease and coronary aneurysm/ectasia amongst adult cardiologists.
