A dual covariant biomarker approach to Kawasaki disease, using vascular endothelial growth factor A and B gene expression; implications for coronary pathogenesis

Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common vasculitis in young children, with coronary artery lesions (CALs) and coronary aneurysms (CAAs) being responsible for most KD-related deaths. Objective: We hypothesized that Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are pivotal in KD inflammat...
