Acute coronary syndrome、Kawasaki disease、management

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains under recognized in patients with Kawasaki Disease (KD). The population at risk for KD-associated ACS is increasing, yet existing ACS guidelines are largely derived from atherosclerotic disease and do not adequately address the distinctive mechanisms, anatomy, and thrombosis risk associated with KD. Because the pathophysiology and management of KD-associated ACS differs in fundamental ways from atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, its management requires a coordinated team response, with collaboration between pediatric and adult cardiologists. This lecture will highlight management of ACS in Kawasaki Disease patients.
