This week we discuss the role of the stress echo in the evaluation and follow-up of the patient with Kawasaki disease. What are the present recommendations on the role of this form of imaging in this patient group? What are its benefits and limitations? Can this form of testing provide actionable data beyond imaging such as CT angiography? What is the possible role of CMR in the management and follow-up of the KD patient? Dr. Kirstin Dummer of Rady Children's Hospital shares her deep insights into this endlessly fascinating topic.
