ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical value of dynamic electrocardiogram ( DCG) in the diagnosis of coronary artery damage (CAD) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods A total of 125 cases of children with KD admitted to hospital in recent years was analyzed , without CAD as the control group (83cases), and others as the experimental group (42cases).All cases were undertaken DCG and electrocardiogram (ECG).The results of heart rate, heart Rhythm, and voltage changes were compared be-tween two groups .Results The abnormal rate of total ECG and DCG in the control group was significantly lower than the experimental group ( P 0.05 ) , but DCG abnormal rate of experimental group was significantly lower than ECG (χ2 =15.30, P 0.05 ) .Conclusions DCG test provides scientific parameter in the diagnosis of CAD in children with KD , and is superior to normal ECG , but the value of Joint is the same .
