Abstract:
Kawasaki disease is an autoimmune vasculitis disease, mainly involving small and medium-sized arteries, especially coronary arteries.The severity of coronary artery lesions is closely related to the prognosis of Kawasaki disease.Statins have been proved effective in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.Recent studies have demonstrated the critical role of statins in the treatment of Kawasaki disease and their potential value in preventing the formation of coronary artery aneurysms in the acute and convalescent stages of Kawasaki disease.In this article, the research progress of statins in Kawasaki disease was reviewed.
