Our Cardiology Kawasaki Disease Program provides inpatient and outpatient consultations for patients with Kawasaki disease who develop cardiac complications, specifically coronary artery aneurysms. 

Part of the world-leading Cardiac Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), we are highly experienced in treating Kawasaki disease and providing comprehensive care by working with our patients, their families, and a multidisciplinary team with Kawasaki disease expertise. Our program is active in the global Kawasaki disease community, including the International Kawasaki Disease Registry, to increase awareness, to enhance our understanding of this condition, and most importantly to improve the outcomes and lives of our patients worldwide.
