Abstract

This study was designed to assess the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography for detection of coronary artery stenosis in children with Kawasaki disease. Dobutamine stress echocardiography is valuable as an alternative test for detection of coronary artery disease in adult patients; however, its usefulness for children has been demonstrated only in limited cases. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (up to 30 microgram/kg body weight per min) was performed in 50 patients at the convalescent stage of Kawasaki disease, including 26 patients with coronary sequelae documented by previous coronary angiography (sequelae group, 3 to 15 years old) and 24 patients with normal coronary arteries documented by echocardiography (normal group, 7 to 16 years old), who underwent quantitative coronary angiography on a separate day. Left ventricular regional wall motion divided into 16 segments was assessed in relation to the extent of coronary artery disease. A positive test response was defined as a new or worsened wall motion abnormalities. Significant coronary artery disease (> or = 50% diameter stenosis of major vessels) was present in 21 patients in the sequelae group. There was no significant difference in...Continue Reading
