early detection and accurate assessment are crucial.

At Tuntun Pediatric Hospital, we don’t rely on symptoms alone.
by comprehensively analyzing clinical symptoms, functional blood test panels, and cardiac imaging results.
We provide tailored, in-depth cardiac evaluations

When Is a Detailed Evaluation Necessary?

in the following situations:
발열 후 Heart Strain에서 Systolic and 관련 염증 반응이 상승한 경우
가와사키병이 의심되거나 진단된 경우
가슴 통증, 호흡곤란, 쉽게 피로해지는 증상이 있는 경우
진찰 시 심잡음이 들리는 경우
바이러스 Infection 이후 심근염·심낭염이 의심되는 경우
원인 없이 심박수가 빠르거나 느린 상태가 지속되는 경우

Kawasaki Disease:
Why is a Heart Assessment Crucial?

Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) that primarily affects children.
If treatment is delayed, it can lead to coronary artery dilation or coronary aneurysms.

  • Evaluating heart structure and the condition of the coronary arteries at the time of diagnosis is essential.
  • Regular follow-up monitoring is highly important even after treatment.
  • Early detection and proactive management significantly reduce the risk of long-term cardiac complications.

Blood Tests to Assess
Heart Strain

When there is a possibility of heart strain or decreased function,
blood tests can help us indirectly evaluate the heart's condition.
If necessary, we selectively run advanced blood panels to check for heart muscle damage or the severity of inflammation.

  • 1

    Assessing whether the heart is under excessive stress

  • 2

    Determining if this is a temporary reaction or a condition requiring further evaluation

  • 3

    Interpreting results alongside structural heart exams to maximize diagnostic accuracy

In cases of unexplained high fevers, severe infections, or strong systemic inflammatory responses,
we measure the level of active inflammation in the body to assess the likelihood of cardiac involvement.

In these cases, we follow a strict minimum-dosage protocol designed for safety and a rapid recovery.
Throughout the procedure, we continuously monitor the child's breathing, heart rate, and oxygen levels in real time.

※ Sedation is only administered when absolutely necessary, and only after a thorough explanation to and consent from the parents.

Step-by-Step Advanced Cardiac Evaluation

STEP 01

based on the child's symptoms, physical exam findings, and basic test results.
We first determine if a cardiac evaluation is necessary

If the likelihood of heart abnormalities is low:

Active Observation (Watch and wait)

If heart strain or inflammation is suspected:

Proceed with an Advanced Evaluation

STEP 02

by combining functional blood tests with cardiac imaging.
We comprehensively assess the heart's condition

If no clear abnormalities are found:

Observation

If further management is needed:

Initiate treatment or refer to a tertiary care medical center

Interpreting Test Results
Our neonatal jaundice assessment

A pediatric cardiac assessment is never based on a single test result.
We comprehensively evaluate the following factors:

  • 1

    The child's symptoms and clinical progression

  • 2

    Trends and changes in blood test results

  • 3

    Findings from cardiac imaging (echocardiography)

  • 4

    The child's age and overall physical condition

Treatment & Ongoing Management 방향 결정

All treatment and management decisions are
made only after detailed discussions with the parents.

In many cases, medical
treatment is not required.

It is common to proceed with
observation alone, without active intervention.

Active observation is itself
a crucial part of ongoing heart care.
