Patient's question:
Now I'm 15 years old and about to take the 800-meter run test for the middle school entrance exam. But every time I run, I feel extremely tired and exhausted, and my face also looks bad. Except for jumping rope, I'm very fast, but after jumping over 100 times, I feel like my hands and feet are not my own. Other classmates say they don't have this feeling. I want to know why? Is it because I had Kawasaki disease when I was young?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease can lead to systemic vasculitis, especially affecting the coronary arteries, resulting in partial or complete blockage of the coronary arteries. 15%-25% of cases can recur coronary aneurysms, requiring long-term follow-up. Experiencing fatigue during high physical activity does not necessarily indicate heart disease; many young people may exhibit similar symptoms due to low physical activity levels and poor physical fitness. Given the history of Kawasaki disease, it is recommended to undergo an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram at the hospital. If necessary, coronary angiography may be performed.
