Pediheart Podcast #355: Myocardial Infarction Following Kawasaki Disease

This week we review a recent report from the Boston Children's team on their 39 year experience managing and caring for children with myocardial infarction following Kawasaki disease (KD). What were the clinical features of KD patients that were most associated with this rare complication? What signs or symptoms should be concerning for the caregiver of patients with KD? What are the more common approaches to the management of MI in this fragile and young patient population? Dr. Sunil Ghelani of Boston Children's Hospital offers the answers this week. DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2025.114638
