Sacubitril/Valsartan in Asian Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute inflammatory process affecting the arterial walls that results in panvasculitis. Recent studies have shown that even after resolution of the disease, endothelial dysfunction persists and may progress to atherosclerosis. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) and the an...
