Effects of coronary artery aneurysms on intracoronary flow velocity dynamics in Kawasaki disease. 1996

Children's Research Hospital, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Japan.

In coronary artery aneurysms associated with Kawasaki disease, a significant decrease in coronary flow velocity together with an abnormal flow profile and a reduction in coronary flow reserve were observed, and were significantly correlated with the size of the aneurysm. These results suggest that coronary arterial aneurysms impair coronary circulation.
