Between January 1973 and December 1979, 290 @entity1 with @entity573 were evaluated with coronary angiography after the acute stage of illness. Of these @entity1 , 43 (15 percent) were diagnosed as having @entity574 . Forty-two @entity1 have been followed up for an average of 4 years (range 15 months to 8 years). One 8 month old @entity1 died of @entity583 after 4 months of illness. Follow-up coronary angiography was performed in 42 @entity1 5 to 18 months after the acute illness. Four groups can be distinguished. Group I: In 21 (50 percent) of 42 @entity1 angiography showed that the @entity574 had regressed, so that no observable lesions were seen. During @entity9458 , electrocardiography, exercise stress testing and thallium scintigraphy were within normal limits. In the other 21 @entity1 abnormal findings persisted on follow-up angiography. Group II: Ten @entity1 showed persistent @entity574 , although reduced in size. Group III: In seven @entity1 the @entity439 had disappeared, but complete obstruction or marked @entity850 of coronary arteries was found. Group IV: In four @entity1 , irregularities of the coronary arterial wall without @entity850 were seen. Among @entity1 with abnormal angiographic findings @entity583 and @entity339 were also seen. Early initiation of @entity117 therapy @entity439 show regression on angiography in 1 or 2 years in about half of @entity1 . The remaining @entity1 are at risk for @entity741 . Thus, @entity573 should be considered an important cause of @entity741 in @entity1 and a possible risk factor of premature @entity453 .
