Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the production of a Special Issue on Kawasaki disease. This issue will focus on the latest research findings and developments pertaining to Kawasaki disease, including topics such as micro RNAs, cytokine profiles in serum and urine, electrophysiology such as HR variability, QTc and QT dispersion.
Kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology that especially affect coronary arteries, potentially leading to the development of coronary artery aneurysms. We would like to focus on the pathophysiology of these vasculitis with respect to microRNAs and cytokines and also wish to establish an exact diagnosis through the help of various elements of electrophysiology.
We invite submissions in the form of original research articles and reviews that address these topics and will help to advance our understanding of Kawasaki disease.
Dr. Kazuyoshi Saito
