| Popis: | It remains to be determined the nature and period of vascular endothelial damage by a systemic vasculitis in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). To elucidate the impact of systemic vasculitis of acute KD on peripheral arterial dimension and reactivity, using high-resolution ultrasound system (Toshiba SSA 380A system with 7.5MHz linear-array transducer) vasodilative response to reactive hyperemia of brachial artery was evaluated in 23 children with acute KD (1.3±1.0 months after onset), 10 in recovery phase (10±2.6 months) and 33 age- and sex- matched control subjects (C). The reactive hyperemia was obtained by the pneumatic tourniquet inflated on the forearm to 180mmHg for 3 minutes and released. Baseline diameters of brachial artery were significantly enlarged both in acute KD (2.8±0.35mm, p |
