Inflammatory reaction in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease may better predict chronic cardiac dysfunction than coronary artery lesions
Chronic cardiac dysfunction in KD patients is affected by CAL grading and acute-phase inflammatory markers. Integrating inflammatory indicators into CAL risk stratification could enhance clinical management strategies. Further research with larger cohorts needs to be conducted to validate these findings and establish longitudinal monitoring protocols.
