Abnormal Tissue Doppler Images are Associated With Elevated Plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Increased Oxidative Stress in Acute Kawasaki Disease

Background The aims of this study were to evaluate myocardial mechanics using pulsed tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), and to determine the relationship between abnormal myocardial performance and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and oxidative stress in acute Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods...
