| Abstract |
The goal of this study was to demonstrate that Doppler transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) may represent a valuable tool for the noninvasive demonstration of coronary microvascular dysfunction in children with previous Kawasaki disease (KD) by the measurement of coronary flow reserve (CFR) during cold pressor test (CPT). Twenty-five children with previous KD (mean follow-up, 4.6 +/- 2.6 years) were included in the study-16 with no evidence of coronary artery lesions (CALs(-)) by TTE and 9 with coronary aneurysms (CALs(+)). Seventeen age-matched healthy subjects were also recruited. Diastolic peak velocity was measured by pulsed Doppler both at rest (DPV(Rest)) and during CPT (DPV(CPT)) in the anterior descending artery. CFR was calculated as DPV(CPT)/DPV(Rest). KD patients demonstrated significantly higher values of DPV(Rest) (0.21 +/- 0.05 vs 0.13 +/- 0.01 cm/sec, p < 0.0001) and DPV(CPT) (0.33 +/- 0.07 vs 0.27 +/- 0.03 cm/sec, p < 0.005). CFR was reduced in KD compared to control subjects (1.5 +/- 0.4 vs 2.1 +/- 0.2, p < 0.0001). CFR was decreased in a similar manner in both CALs(+) patients (1.4 +/- 0.4, p = 0.002 vs controls) and CALs(-) patients (1.6 +/- 0.4, p < 0.0001 vs controls). Doppler TTE at rest and during CPT may represent a valuable modality for CFR evaluation in children with a history of KD. CFR is significantly reduced in KD patients independently of the presence of CALs. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 November 2007.
All research outputs
#15,240,835
of 22,660,862 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Cardiology
#649
of 1,405 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#58,856
of 68,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Cardiology
#6
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,660,862 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,405 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 68,641 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
