초록

목 적 : 가와사끼병은 회복기나 사춘기와 성인기에 정상인보다 동맥경화의 위험성이 크다고 알려져 있어 이에 대한 조기진단과 관리가 매우 중요하다. 이에 저자들은 가와사끼병을 앓은 학동기나 학동전기 아동을 대상으로 복부대동맥의 신전성과 동맥경화의 조기예측인자인 지질 성분과 혈액학적 염증 지표들을 조사하여 가와사끼병의 장기 관리의 기초적인 자료로 활용하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 충남대학교병원 소아과에서 1998년 6월부터 2005년 3월까지 가와사끼병으로 치료받았던 28명을 관상동맥병변이 지속되고 있는 8명(1군)과 관상동맥병변이 없었던 20명(2군)으로 나누어 조사하였고, 가와사끼병이 있는 군과 연령, 체중, 신장이 일치하는 건강한 소아 30명을 대조군(3군)으로 하였다. 지질 성분과 혈액학적 염증지표를 측정하였고, 혈압은 자동혈압계를 이용하여 앙와위에서 15분 안정 후 3회 측정하여 그 평균치를 구하였다. 심장초음파검사는 심실기능과 관상동맥병변 등을 조사하였으며 복부의 subxiphoid long axis view에서 복부 대동맥의 최대 수축기 직경과 최소 이완기직경을 측정하였다. 결 과 : 호모시스테인은 환자군과 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이(P=0.008)가 있었으나 지질성분에서는 차이가 없었다. 복부대동맥의 경직도를 나타내는 지표인 Ep, $Ep^*$는 대조군에 비해 환자군에서 유의(P<0.05)하게 증가되었으며, 관상동맥병변의 유무에 따라 비교해 보면 관상동맥병변이 있는 군(1군)에서는 유의한 차이를 보였으나 관상동맥병변이 없는 군(2군)은 대조군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 1군과 2군을 비교해 보았을 때 Ep, $Ep^*$이 1군에서 유의하게 증가해 있었다. 결 론 : 가와사끼병을 앓은 후 조기동맥경화의 변화는 학동기에도 나타날 수 있으며, 이는 관상동맥병변이 있는 환자에서 더욱 현저하다. 이에 대한 선별검사로 성인에서 이용되고 있는 동맥경화의 조기예측인자인 지질 성분과 혈액학적 염증지표들 및 혈관의 물리적 특성(PWV, FMD) 이외에도 복부 대동맥경직도가 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose : This study aimed to assess the mechanical properties of the abdominal aorta in school-aged patients treated for Kawasaki disease and in normal, healthy children. Methods : This study examined 28 children with Kawasaki disease who had been followed up on and 30 healthy subjects of the same age and gender. We recorded systolic (Ps) and diastolic (Pd) blood pressure values and the aortic diameter at both minimum diastolic (Dd) and maximum systolic (Ds) expansion using two-dimensional echocardiography. These measurements were used to determine 1) aortic strain: S=(Ds-Dd)/Dd; 2) pressure strain elastic modulus: Ep=(Ps-Pd)/S; and 3) normalized Ep: $Ep^*=Ep/Pd$. Results : Ep (P=0.008) and $Ep^*$ (P=0.043) of the Kawasaki disease group were relatively high compared to those of the control group. Ep (P=0.002) and $Ep^*$ (P=0.015) of patients with coronary aneurysm were also relatively high compared with those of patients without coronary aneurysm, but lipid profiles did not differ, except for homocysteine (P=0.008). Therefore, in patients with coronary aneurysm, aortic stiffness was higher, compared to not only the control group but also patients without coronary aneurysm. However, in patients without coronary aneurysm, aortic stiffness was not significant, different compared to the control group. Conclusion : Measuring aortic distensibility may be helpful in assessing the risk of early atheroscletic change in the long-term management of Kawasaki disease.
