Core Tip
Core Tip: Kawasaki disease can lead to coronary artery aneurysms. The presence of a coronary artery aneurysm increases the risk of developing acute coronary syndrome. However, we found that proper long-term medical care or regular examination had not been provided to the 19 previously reported patients in this case series. Thus, based on the Z scores, our data highlight the importance of meticulous care by a cardiac specialist.
