Objective: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic vasculitis of medium- and small-sized arteries. The involvement of the coronary arteries may lead to long-term cardiovascular sequelae. We studied the elasticity of the aorta and the common carotid artery (CCA), flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery, and carotid intima media thickness, as well biomarkers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and elastin, as useful indicators of cardiovascular risk in patients, following KD. Methods: The study group consisted of 26 patients with a history of KD, and 26 healthy children. Echocardiography, and carotid and brachial ultrasound studies were performed. Plasma hsCRP and elastin levels were studied in both groups. Results: ...
