Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1995 Jun;35(2):139-45. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810350213.

Abstract

A 9-year-old boy developed ischemic cardiac symptoms 1 year after he presented with Kawasaki disease. The myocardial infarction was confirmed by the typical changes of electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, cardiac enzymes, thallium myocardial scintigrams, and angiograms. With successful intravenous streptokinase therapy, he remained well during the following 4 months.
