ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of ambulatory electrocardiogram and the neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR) in the diagnosis on Kawasaki disease combined with changes of coronary artery for children. Methods: 80 children with Kawasaki disease were enrolled in the research. According to the combined situation of coronary artery disease, all of children with combined coronary artery disease were divided in observation group (48 cases) and the children without combined coronary artery disease were divided in control group (32 cases). All of children received the examinations of dynamic electrocardiogram, routine electrocardiogram, ultrasound cardiogram scan and blood routine detection within 15d of occurring disease. And the amounts of neutrophil and lymphocyte, and change of dynamic electrocardiogram of all of children were recorded and analyzed. And then the amounts of neutrophil and lymphocyte and the NLR of the two groups were further compared. Results: The sinus tachycardia, atrioventricular block, abnormal average heart rate and the proportions of total abnormal number of observation group were significantly higher than that of control group, and the difference of total number of ambulatory electrocardiographic abnormality between the two groups were significant (x2=20.112, P<0.05). The results of ambulatory electrocardiogram for Kawasaki disease combined with abnormal coronary artery were significantly higher than that of control group (x2=17.778, P<0.05). Compared with control group, the coronary artery ectasia was more larger, the amount of neutrophils would be more greater in observation group, and the difference between the two groups was significant (t=-3.464, P<0.05). Besides, the difference of NLR between patients with mild ectasia of observation group and patients of control group was significantly (t=2.976, P<0.05). Conclusion: Dynamic electrocardiogram and the NLR have important significance in the diagnosis for children with Kawasaki disease combined with the change of coronary artery.
