Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of giant aneurysms (GiAn) and Kawasaki disease (KD) research trends across 16 Arab countries over a span of 45 years, revealing a 30% annual growth rate in KD publications.
- It finds that while UAE, KSA, and Egypt produced the majority of KD research, developing nations lag behind, and highlights significant issues like initial misdiagnosis and incomplete cases contributing to an underestimated epidemiology.
- The review emphasizes the need for strategic initiatives to improve KD research and collaboration among Arab countries to better understand and address these health challenges.
Article Synopsis
- - Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children from developed countries, necessitating detailed studies within Arab nations to enhance diagnosis and care.
- - Kawarabi is a collaborative initiative involving North American and Arab experts aimed at improving knowledge and management of KD and similar conditions, primarily initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic's emergence of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.
- - Founded in 2021, Kawarabi has identified gaps in awareness and resources concerning KD in Arab countries, and it has organized educational webinars and meetings to promote better understanding of the disease and its long-term outcomes.
Herein, we present a case of ischemic heart failure that occurred immediately after birth in a neonate due to coronary artery fistula (CAF) from the left main coronary artery to the left atrial appendage associated with high pulmonary artery pressure. Ischemic heart failure in a neonate with a structurally normal heart is rare. Furthermore, CAF resulting in ischemic heart failure is very rare in neonates.
