title: Exercise echocardiography in children with Kawasaki disease: ventricular long axis is selectively abnormal.
abstract: In asymptomatic children with Kawasaki disease, left ventricular traditional markers of systolic and diastolic function are maintained. However, long-axis function, which represents the subendocardium, is abnormal during stress, particularly in patients with versus without coronary aneurysm.
