Abstract

Acute heart failure (AHF) presents serious risks for hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels and outcomes in AHF patients admitted to the intensive cardiovascular care unit (ICCU), utilizing data from the IndONEsia ICCU Registry (One ICCU Registry). A multicenter retrospective observational study was performed covering data between August 2021-2023. Participants were categorized by PaCO2 levels: hypocapnia (<35 mmHg), normocapnia (35–45 mmHg), and hypercapnia (>45 mmHg). The primary outcomes included ICCU mortality, in-hospital mortality, and 30-day mortality, whereas the length of the stays in the ICCU or hospital and ventilation requirement were set as the secondary outcomes. Mortality risks were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models. Of the 1,870 patients, 1,102 (58.96%) had hypocapnia, 645 (34.5%) had normocapnia, and 123 (6.5%) had hypercapnia. Hypocapnia patients had significantly higher ICCU, in-hospital, and at 30-day mortality rates compared to normocapnic patients (all p<0.001), along with longer lengths of stay in ICCU and in hospital (p<0.001). Hypocapnia significantly increased noninvasive and mechanical ventilation requirement compared to normocapnia patients. Multivariate analysis identified factors impacting patients’ survival, including age, treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi)/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) drugs, and severity scores such as the quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II). In conclusion, hypocapnia in AHF patients could increase in-hospital, ICU and 30-days mortality rates and length of hospital stays, as well as noninvasive and mechanical ventilation requirements.

Abstract

The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score is acknowledged for its ability to predict in-hospital mortality among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, intensive care physicians often employ general prognostic scores such as Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) and Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS-II) to predict the mortality of ACS patients. However, their predictive values are not well-determined in predicting mortality in ACS treated in the cardiovascular care unit (CVCU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of APACHE-II and SAPS-II scores in comparison with GRACE scores in predicting the CVCU mortality and in-hospital mortality of ACS patients admitted to CVCU. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from a registry of patients admitted to 10 hospitals in Indonesia between August 2021 and July 2023. This study evaluated the APACHE-II, SAPS-II, and GRACE scores for patients with ACS upon admission to CVCU. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was utilized to assess the discriminative ability for predicting mortality. Among the 12,950 admitted patients, 9,040 were diagnosed with ACS, and 6,490 patients were included in the final analysis. All three scoring systems had relatively good discriminative ability to predict CVCU mortality with APACHE-II having better results (AUC: 0.771; sensitivity: 63.9%; specificity: 78.7%) compared to GRACE (AUC: 0.726; sensitivity: 61.7%; specificity: 73.2%) and SAPS-II (AUC: 0.655; sensitivity: 38.9%; specificity: 85.2%). To predict in-hospital mortality, APACHE-II had better results (AUC: 0.815; sensitivity: 68.7%; specificity: 80.4%) compared to GRACE (AUC: 0.769; sensitivity: 64.6%; specificity: 77.5%) and SAPS-II (AUC: 0.683; sensitivity: 41.8%; specificity: 86.2%). APACHE-II had the best single risk factor for CVCU mortality (odds ratio (OR): 1.198; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.181–1.214) and in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.259; 95%CI: 1.240–1.279). In conclusion, APACHE-II, SAPS-II, and GRACE scores moderately predict CVCU and in-hospital mortalities, with the APACHE-II score exhibiting the highest predictive capability in ACS patients admitted to CVCU.

Abstract

Timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can greatly decrease mortality and morbidity. However, delays can hinder its effectiveness. The interval from hospital admission to reperfusion with PCI, known as door-to-balloon time (D2B), is closely linked to patient outcomes and is a key indicator of hospital quality. European guidelines suggest a D2B time of 90 minutes or less. Furthermore, some registries break down the D2B time into component times. These components include the time needed to identify a STEMI and activate the catheterization lab (door-to-activation time), the time for lab preparation and patient transport (activation-to-laboratory time), and the time from lab arrival to the initial use of devices to open the blocked artery (laboratory-to-balloon time). In Indonesia, factors such as population diversity, cultural beliefs, health literacy, and national insurance processes may affect D2B times. Understanding these components can help develop strategies to reduce delays. Understanding each component of D2B time and its contributing factors can aid physicians in developing effective strategies to reduce D2B delays.

Abstract

Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is drastically decreasing in the reperfusion era but mortality remains high. VSR correction is the definitive treatment and using mechanical support to delay closure is an attractive option despite data on success being limited. Case Illustration: A 60-year-old man presented with late presentation of anterior STEMI complicating hemodynamic deterioration. Echocardiography showed apical VSR 11-14 mm L-R shunt. Patient was given adequate fluids, multiple inotropic agents, and IABP insertion, then a successful PPCI procedure was performed immediately. IABP was maintained for hemodynamic stabilization and patient was scheduled for interventional closure. Unfortunately, the patient worsened due to cardiogenic shock and passed away on the 5th day of admission. In another case, a 61-year-old man came to our hospital also with a late presentation of anterior STEMI but stable in hemodynamics. Echocardiography showed apical VSR 9-11 mm L-R shunt. Coronary angiography showed CAD three vessel disease with critical stenosis at LAD. In hospital’s heart team discussion, patient was planned to be performed VSR closure percutaneously and continue with PCI procedure. Both procedures were performed successfully. Patient was improved and discharged on 20th day of admission. Conclusion: Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment are the keys to optimal management of VSR complicating late presentation STEMI. Mechanical circulatory support and correction of VSR are required to optimize patient outcomes despite VSR is still a challenging case.

Abstract

Introduction: Purulent pericarditis is defined as an infection in the pericardial space that produces macroscopically or microscopically purulent fluid. It was a rare but life-threatening condition. It may be primary or secondary to another infectious process. This condition, characterised by an infectious or inflammatory accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in the context of multiple comorbidities. The purpose of this case report is to provide descriptive information about rare clinical patient scenario of purulent massive pericardial effusion in elderly. Case Description: The patient's presentation, complicated by pneumonia and diabetes mellitus, underscores the complexities in diagnosing and managing an 85-year-old male patient with diverse medical backgrounds. Echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis of massive pericardial effusion and showed the purulent fluid from the pericardiocentesis procedure. Nevertheless, despite various efforts to find the origin of the infection and treat it with antibiotics according to the sensitivity test, the patient's outcome with many risk factors, immunocompromised condition, unclear source of infection, aside from septic shock that led to the patient's death during treatment. Conclusion: Clinicians need to be aware of immunocompromised elderly patients and act quickly to help them. They also need to deal with the diagnostic difficulties of identifying definitive infectious sources, the high risk of death even with modern treatments, and the important role that underlying comorbidities play in prognosis. Clinical evidence shows that purulent pericarditis is still a serious condition that can have adverse outcomes, especially in older patients who already have a lot of health problems.

Abstract

Introduction: Renal insufficiency (RI) is related to poor clinical results in STEMI patients receiving primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of RI on in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in STEMI patients receiving primary PCI. Methods: The study was predicated on the registry of 1447 STEMI patients from January 2020–December 2023. Study samples were categorized into two groups: RI (eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m²) and no RI (eGFR≥60mL/min/1.73m²). Patients’ characteristics and in-hospital MACE in the two groups underwent analysis. Results: Among 848 consecutive subjects, 238 (28%) had RI, and 610 (72%) had no RI. Age (p = 0.000), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.007), and onset STEMI>12 hours (0.043) were correlated with RI. Dyslipidemia (p = 0.025), Onset STEMI>12 hours (p = 0.006), and RI (p = 0.000) were correlated with MACE. RI was correlated with MACE (OR 2.04, 95% CI: 1.46–2.85, p = 0.000). RI was correlated with sub-group analysis of MACE; cardiogenic shock (OR 2.00, 95% CI: 1.34-2.99, p = 0.001), acute heart failure (OR 1.80, 95% CI: 1.22-2.65, p = 0.003), malignant arrhythmia (OR 2.40, 95% CI: 1.61-3.58, p = 0.000), and mortality (OR 2.74, 95% CI: 1.78-4.24, p = 0.000). Conclusions: RI was correlated with in-hospital MACE in STEMI patients receiving primary PCI. In a sub-group analysis of in-hospital MACE, RI constituted a strong independent predictor of cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, and mortality, respectively.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is correlated with elevated death and fatality rates. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score is frequently employed for risk stratification in ACS. Nevertheless, intensive care physicians frequently utilize more comprehensive and general prognostic judgments derived from critically ill individuals, one of which is the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) score. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of the score compared to APACHE-II score in predicting cardiovascular care unit () mortality. METHODS: A Retrospective cohort study was carried out at a single center, utilizing data from ACS patients admitted to the CVCU of RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang from 2021 to 2023. Both GRACE and APACHE-II scores were computed at the initial admission to hospital. The discriminative capability was computed using the area under the curve (AUC), and calibration was verified by the Hosmer-Lemeshow (HL) test. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to ascertain independent determinants of death. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: APACHE-II exhibited enhanced efficacy in predicting CVCU mortality in ACS patients, and both scoring systems continue to serve as valuable instruments.

Abstract

Background Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a critical condition that often complicates hospitalization and commonly arises from cardiopulmonary dysfunctions such as acute heart failure. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in these patients is associated with increased morbidity, mortality of about 30%, and greater healthcare resource utilization. Identifying predictors of PMV is essential to improve outcomes and optimize management strategies. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on all patients who underwent endotracheal intubation in the Cardiovascular Care Unit (CVCU) of RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang from 2015 to 2021. Patients with incomplete medical records or who died within 14 days of mechanical ventilation were excluded. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified independent predictors of PMV. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to assess model discrimination using the area under the curve (AUC), with corresponding sensitivity and specificity. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Results Five independent predictors of PMV were identified: tachycardia (p = 0.013), metabolic acidosis (p = 0.002), impaired renal function (p = 0.009), shock (p = 0.006), and major bleeding (p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis showed the following odds ratios(OR, 95% CI): tachycardia 2.06 (1.09–5.99), metabolic acidosis 2.03 (1.09–6.33), impaired renal function 2.87 (1.28–6.46), shock 2.83 (1.13–7.06), and major bleeding 1.36 (1.18–2.15). The model demonstrated good discrimination with an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI 0.77–0.88), sensitivity 0.87, and specificity 0.73. Conclusion In patients with respiratory failure due to acute heart failure, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, impaired renal function, shock, and major bleeding were independent predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation. The predictive model showed high sensitivity and acceptable specificity, supporting its clinical usefulness for early identification of high-risk patients and targeted intervention.

Abstract

The widespread implementation of invasive procedures such as coronary angiography and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) into the routine management of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the last 10 years has led to a significant improvement in patient prognosis. At the same time, this also raises new problems and questions, mostly related to the fact that there are many elderly patients and/or patients with comorbidities who need to undergo this invasive procedure. One of the most important comorbidities is renal insufficiency. STEMI patients with renal insufficiency typically present with more extensive atherosclerotic lesions, including diffuse coronary calcification, which poses a challenge to the interventional cardiologist due to a higher risk of periprocedural complications, higher risk of restenosis, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) , and patient mortality. This review discusses in depth the influence of renal insufficiency on MACE and mortality in STEMI patients. Keywords: renal insufficiency, STEMI, MACE, mortality.

Abstract

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) requires immediate management to prevent serious complications, one of which is Ventricular Septal Rupture (VSR). This complication necessitates a multidisciplinary approach due to the complex interaction between ischemic injury, mechanical stress, and inflammatory processes within the heart. Post-AMI VSR leads to a left-to-right shunt, resulting in hemodynamic changes that affect both cardiac function and systemic circulation. Echocardiography serves as the primary modality for assessing the size and location of the rupture, although other imaging modalities are also employed for a more detailed evaluation of hemodynamic alterations. Initial management of post-AMI VSR focuses on hemodynamic stabilization through medical therapy. However, mechanical circulatory support, such as Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), is often required in more severe cases. Surgical closure remains the gold standard of treatment, although the optimal timing for surgery is still debated among experts. As an alternative, transcatheter closure using occluder devices can be employed as acute, subacute, or definitive therapy, depending on the patient's condition. The management of post-AMI VSR involves hemodynamic stabilization and a decision between surgical or transcatheter closure, which must take into account the patient's clinical profile and the expertise of the medical team involved.
