Patients with coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) of Kawasaki disease (KD) in childhood are at lifelong risk of cardiac complications and require lifetime follow- up at specialist regional KD clinics. With increased risk at all ages, the management of suspected myocardial ischemic events in these patients differs from that of other adults who have acute coronary syndromes due to atherosclerotic heart disease.
For complex KD patients, health care transition should be deliberate, well planned, and coordinated, acknowledging the importance of their developmental, academic, vocational, and psychosocial needs. This would address the evolving personal and professional growth, self-management, health care system navigation issues, and a validation of their disease knowledge, ultimately aiming to minimize lapses in health care transition and maximize medical and psychosocial outcomes.
