Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask, how long can someone live after recovering from Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease has many complications, with cardiovascular system damage being the main cause of death in patients. During the acute phase, it can lead to myocarditis, pericarditis, and heart failure. Coronary artery aneurysms may recur in 15% to 20% of Kawasaki disease patients within 1 to 3 weeks. This is a large coronary artery aneurysm, which is prone to forming thrombi and acute myocardial infarction or aneurysm rupture. Children with Kawasaki disease may experience relief with active treatment. For detailed information, please consult the relevant departments of your local hospital.
