Dynamic assessment of myocardial contractile dysfunction and its recovery after IVIG treatment in a murine model of Kawasaki disease using high-resolution speckle-tracking echocardiography
Myocardial contractile dysfunction resulting from myocarditis occurs in the KD mouse model and can be improved with IVIG treatment. High-resolution STI offers a more sensitive and accurate method for assessing myocardial dysfunction and the effects of cardioprotective treatments compared to conventional echocardiography.
