Abstract

The utility of color Doppler echocardiography in the diagnosis and follow‑up of Kawasaki disease (KD) with coronary artery lesions (CAL) was analyzed, and the clinical parameters associated with the disease were examined. The general data, the color Doppler echocardiography data and the biochemical indexes from 102 children with KD were analyzed. The patients were divided into a CAL group and a non‑coronary artery lesion (NCAL) group based on the presence or absence of CAL. The risk factors for CAL in KD were screened by univariate and multivariate analyses. Among the 102 cases, CAL complications were identified in 47 cases (46.08%). Compared with the NCAL group, the CAL group showed significantly higher incidences of fever duration, increased levels of N‑terminal pro B‑type natriuretic peptide (NT‑proBNP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), C‑reactive protein (CRP), intravenous immunoglobulin resistance, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), platelets, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and significantly lower serum albumin levels (P<0.05). According to the multivariate analysis, fever duration [odds ratio (OR)=2.014], NT‑proBNP (OR=3.004), cTnI level (OR=2.638), ESR (OR=1.461) and CRP elevation (OR=1.094) were predictors of CAL in KD. During convalescence, the left and right coronary artery diameters in the CAL group significantly decreased (P<0.05). Color Doppler echocardiography can observe the condition of coronary artery disease in patients with KD in real time and predicts its outcomes, which may be helpful for early diagnosis and long‑term follow‑up. Fever duration, cTnI, NT‑proBNP and ESR levels were correlated with coronary artery diameter, of which the comprehensive use may be more accurate in determining the occurrence of CAL in KD.
