ObjectiveTo develop an ultrasound study protocol to establish cardiovascular risk in the pediatric population.Materials and methodsAn ultrasound protocol to assess cardiovascular risk was developed to evaluate vascular reactivity in the pediatric population.ResultsFifty pediatric patients were recruited between January and June 2012. Eleven patients had a history of Kawasaki’s disease, and 40 patients with no history of cardiovascular risk. In 17 patients with no history of cardiovascular disease, the test could not be fully performed due to lack of collaboration. The mean age of the healthy subjects was 75months, and in patients with Kawasaki’s disease it was 68months. The test performed included vascular physical and functional parameters. The test did not find significant differences between the two populations, although a trend of increasing pulse wave velocity associated with reduced distensibility was found in patients with Kawasaki’s disease compared to the healthy subjects.ConclusionsThis protocol can be routinely performed in cooperative patients but is limited in children under thirty months of age due to lack of collaboration. No significant differences between the normal and cardiovascular risk population were found. An increase in the sample size is necessary in order to assess the observed trend
