Abstract
In coronary artery aneurysms associated with Kawasaki disease, a signi ficant decrease in coronary flow velocity together with an abnormal fl ow profile and a reduction in coronary flow reserve were observed, and were significantly correlated with the size of the aneurysm. These re sults suggest that coronary arterial aneurysms impair coronary circula tion.
