Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most prevalent vasculitis diseases in
children and can bring about serious cardiovascular complications. Early detection of
cardiac involvement in KD can play an essential role in managing and preventing the
cardiac sequels. We aimed to evaluate the applicability and diagnostic accuracy of cardiac
biomarkers including cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic (NT-
proBNP) for early detection of cardiac involvement in children with KD.
