Post Kawasaki disease exercise capacity
There have been questions about the long-term impact of Kawasaki disease on the heart. This impact could take many forms, but one is a decrease in exercise capacity. It seems possible that the degree to which the coronary arteries are affected during the acute illness might be related. In this volume of The Journal, Tuan et al sought to evaluate exercise capacity between patients post Kawasaki disease with different coronary artery diameters. The diameter was evaluated using the lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) method.
