REPEATED MYOCARDIAL INFARCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH KAWASAKI SYNDROME

Abstract

Kawasaki syndrome is characterized by damage to the coronary arteries with the formation of aneurysms, which persist and progress after the completion of the acute stage of the process and cause hemodynamically significant stenoses and thrombosis. The literature research data on cardiac pathology in patients with Kawasaki syndrome are presented. A clinical case of a young non-mongoloid patient with a high probability of Kawasaki syndrome suffered in childhood is described. Repeated myocardial infarctions, multiple aneurysms of characteristic shapes and sizes in the coronary arteries are confirmation of this disease. With the development of coronary pathology in young people, when conducting a diagnostic search, it is necessary to remember about the Kawasaki syndrome.
