Abstract:
Coronary artery lesions caused by Kawasaki disease have main effect to its prognosis.Thelesions can be showed as arteriitis,arteriectasis,aneurysm and arterial stenosis stenosis.Ultrasonic cardiography is the first choice to detect the lesions,especially in dilatation and aneurysm formation of the coronary artery.It can definitely show the diameter and the degree of dilatation of the coronary artery.With the development of ultrasonic equipments as well as the applications of new technique,ultrasonic cardiography is playing an important role in Kawasaki disease of early diagnosis,therapeutic effect,prognosis estimation and Iongterm follow -up.
