Kawasaki disease、Coronary arterial lesion、Adults
Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common acquired cardiac diseases in children. As patients with KD transition into adulthood, coronary sequelae become a primary concern. The first cases of KD in Japan and Taiwan were reported in 1967 and 1976, respectively. In Taiwan, the number of individuals with a history of KD reached approximately 27,000 by 2020, with 5% of them being over 40 years of age.
This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation of adults with a history of KD in Taiwan, based on the most recent domestic data. I will discuss four key aspects: (1) the medical burden associated with long-term KD outcomes, (2) coronary risk stratification, (3) the role of stress nuclear/MRI imaging in cardiac assessment, and (4) the status and challenges of follow-up care.
