Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of paediatric acquired heart disease in developed countries due to cardiovascular sequelae from coronary artery (CA) involvement, especially if inadequately treated. Current international guidelines recommend all patients diagnosed with KD should undergo echocardiograms at baseline, 2-weeks and 6-weeks following diagnosis [1]. We aimed to assess the utility of the 2-week echocardiogram in guiding management of KD patients.
