[|Human|] Hi, I am wanting to ask a question about my granddaughter. She is 6 years old, and weighs around 49lbs. She started complianing about chest pains about 6 months ago so we took her to the hospital . The doctors there ran a series of tests on her & came back to say she has Kawasaki disease. We just took her to a pediatric Cardiologist where they are now saying all 4 chambers of her heart had been leaking and that 3 of them were healing on their own but that the valve on the right side was still leaking so they want to put her on a monitor for 30 days to I guess find out what she is doing when the pain starts in her chest. Is this a bad sign for my grandchild? Does this mean that her heart is bad or that her problems could be fetal? I am so WORRIED about our granddaughter! Please could someone explain to me about the monitor & what to expect in the future for our grandchild! Thank you so much for any help! A worried Grandmother
[|AI|]  Hi... your granddaughter if correctly diagnosed with Kawasaki disease . Can be treated with medicines. The valve leak ... called regurgitation . Is usually mild and self resolving in most cases. The monitor (mostly a loop recorder, I guess) is for monitoring irregularities in the rate and rhythm of heart and if any changes in the heart blood flow (ischemia). Your granddaughter will surely be fine, and the disease is a treatable one.
