Abstract：Objective: To investigate the echocardiographic features of cardiac damage in children with primary Takayasu arteritis. Methods: Seventeen children with Takayasu arteritis diagnosed in our hospital were enrolled. The echocardiographic features were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of the 17 patients, 8 patients(47.06%) had hypertensive heart changes; 2 patients(11.76%) had dilated cardiomyopathy as the main cardiac change, including 1 case of non-compaction of ventricular myocardium; 5 patients(29.41%) showed coronary artery changes; 1 patient(5.88%) showed simple aortic arch dilatation; 1 patient(5.88%) showed simple aortic valve regurgitation; in all 17 patients, 5 patients had varying degrees of aortic regurgitation, and 4 patients had mild mitral regurgitation. Conclusion: Children with Takayasu arteritis may be combined with a variety of cardiac changes, and the ultrasound manifestations are mainly hypertensive heart disease changes. Ultrasound physicians should pay attention to distinguishing from related diseases.
