Do we reperfuse those in most need?
reperfusion therapies are applied to relatively lower-risk patients. If a survival advantage is to be expected at the national level, more high-risk patients, such as the elderly, women, diabetics, and mainly those with advanced Killip class, should be considered for reperfusion strategies.
Levels of L-arginine, ADMA, and SDMA appear to be associated with KD. Lower L-arginine levels and ADMA/SDMA after treatment with IVIG was associated with coronary artery abnormalities patients with KD.
