Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis that occurs predominantly in infants and children younger than 5 years old. If undiagnosed and untreated, the risk of developing coronary artery aneurysms increases to about 20%. In patients who present with angina and are found to have coronary artery aneurysm on imaging and angiography, Kawasaki disease should be considered as one of the leading diagnoses.
川崎病是一种主要发生于5岁以下婴幼儿的急性血管炎。如果未被诊断和治疗,发生冠状动脉瘤的风险会增至约20%。对于出现心绞痛且影像学和血管造影检查发现有冠状动脉瘤的患者,应将川崎病视为主要诊断之一。
