Journal ArticleDOI
Novel and traditional cardiovascular risk factors in children after Kawasaki disease ☆: Implications for premature atherosclerosis
TL;DR: An adverse cardiovascular risk profile, as characterized by a proatherogenic alteration of the lipid profile and increased arterial stiffness, occurs in children after Kawasaki disease and is worse in those with than in those without coronary aneurysms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased high sensitivity C reactive protein concentrations and increased arterial stiffness in children with a history of Kawasaki disease
TL;DR: Findings support the possibility of ongoing low grade inflammation late after the acute phase of Kawasaki disease in patients with coronary aneurysms and may have a role in increasing systemic arterial stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of indications for surgical closure of subarterial ventricular septal defect without associated aortic cusp prolapse and aortic regurgitation
Kin-Shing Lun,Hung Li,Maurice Ping Leung,Adolphus K.T Chau,Tak-cheung Yung,Clement S. W. Chiu,Yiu-fai Cheung +6 more
TL;DR: Subarterial VSD of > or =5 mm should be closed as early as possible to prevent development of aortic cusp prolapse and AR, and asymptomatic patients with small defects <5 mm could be managed conservatively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of preoperative aortic cusp prolapse on long-term outcome after surgical closure of subarterial ventricular septal defect.
TL;DR: The data do not support the need of aortic valvoplasty for mild to moderate aorta cusp prolapse, and close follow-up is warranted in those with greater than moderate to severe cusp Prolapse despite valVoplasty as there is continued failure on follow- up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of infants with right atrial isomerism: is prognosis better with normal pulmonary venous drainage?
TL;DR: The long term outcome of infants and children with right atrial isomerism in association with a normal pulmonary venous drainage remains unfavourable and factors associated with poor outcome are determined.
