Abstract

Background: Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) storm or electrical storm (ES) is defined as cardiac electrical instability and refers to the occurrence of three or more ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT and or ventricular fibrillation (VF)) in a 24-hour period, or VT recurring soon (within five minutes) after termination of another VT episode, or sustained or no sustained VT with total ectopic beats greater than sinus beats in a 24-hour period. The frequency of VT storms varies on population. When ICDs are implanted for primary prevention (4 percent), it is lower than when they are implanted for secondary prevention (20 percent).Case Summary: We presented patient with Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) storm. A 63-year old woman was admitted to emergency room with chief complaint frequent episodes of palpitation. She was found to have monomorphic VT with unstable hemodynamic. Then she got cardioversion 100 Joule, continued with lidocaine drip and VT reverted to sinus rhythm. Patient admitted to cardiovascular care unit, but she had VT refractory. She got complete revascularization for coronary artery before, but the episodic of VT still occurred with cardiogenic shock (CS) and pulmonary edema. She got cardioversion, amiodarone iv and inotropes, then observed this patient at CVCU. After the condition stable, this patient was discharged and planned for ICD insertion at the next admission.Discussion: We discuss the various available treatment options for VT storm and practical challenges faced in management of hemodynamically unstable VT storm. Initial management involves identifying and correcting the underlying ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other inciting factors.

Abstract

Background:The prognostic usefulness of abnormal heart rate recovery (HRR) as a predictor of death has been discovered. Abnormal HRR results from inadequate vagal activation after exercise. The association between HRR and angiography in CAD (coronary artery disease) has been studied, however the conclusions are still being contested due to a lack of data. The purpose of this study is to see if HRR after an EST (exercise stress test) may predict the severity of syntax values in individuals with stable CAD at Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang (RSSA). Methods:This study is an analytic observational study with a retrospective cross sectional design. It was held in Saful anwar, Malang Hospital during January 2017–December 2019, including 366 patients. All patients underwent exercise stress test for CAD screening and coroner angiography. Those were divided into two groups, which included syntax score  < 23 (n=148) and syntax score ≥ 23 (n= 218). Result: Chi-square analysis was used to analyze the relationship correlation between HRR1, HRR2 and Syntax Score, and was used to compared between HRR1 (heart rate recovery first minutes), HRR2 (heart rate recovery second minute) and Syntax Score group. The confounding factor was adjusted with multivariate logistic regression analysis and AUC curve. There was a significant negatif correlation between abnormal HRR1 and HRR2 after exercise and Syntax score, with strong correlation (HRR1 ; OR = -2.11, p = 0.00 AUC :90,8%, HRR2 ; OR = -1,6, p = 0,48, AUC : 70,4%).  Conclusion: Abnormal first and second minutes of HRR after exercise stress test in stable CAD patient have a higher incidence of high Syntax Score (>1) than stable CAD patient with normal HRR. Keywords: Coronary artery disease (CAD), Heart rate recovery (HRR), Syntax.

Abstract

Background: The likelihood of a poor clinical outcome is significantly increased in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Mechanical ventilation was necessary for 23% of ADHF patients receiving treatment. The simple parameters of blood pressure and heart rate have good accuracy and repeatability. The development of the Acute Hemodynamic Index allowed for the calculation of pulse pressure and heart rate to be used as a basis for predicting intrahospital mortality.Methods: The medical records of patients who received care at CVCU RSSA were used in this retrospective, single-center study. ROC analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to evaluate the prognostic performance of AHI. Statistical significance was determined by the P value of 0.05 or lower.Results: 252 patients with heart failure and low ejection fraction had their data analyzed. Hospital mortality is 82 percent. The cut-off was 4.19 mmHg/bpm, which was the AHI value. 68.8% of patients with fatal illnesses had low AHIs ( 4.19 mmHgbpm). AHI > 4.19 mmHgbpm patients have a 9-fold increased risk of dying in the hospital than patients with low AHI. AUC: 0.825 [0.743-0.907]; sensitivity: 0.814; specificity: 0.689; AUC: 0.825 [0.743-0.907; p = 0.000]; demonstrate the high predictive power of AHI.Conclusion: AHI has a strong degree of association with the likelihood of dying in the hospital from acute decompensated heart failure.

Abstract

Background: Recent studies have shown that arterial stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, with CAVI (Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index) as a non-invasive arterial stiffness testing method indaily practice.Objective: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between smoking -as a risk factor for arterial stiffness- and CAVI values, as well as levels of IL-1β (Interleukin 1β) as a cytokine that plays a role in the pathophysiology of arterial stiffness.Methods: Eighty-four participants, including smokers and non-smokers without other cardiovascular risk factors, were included in the study. Demographic data, medical history, and smoking behavior were taken using a questionnaire, then IL-1β and CAVI levels were examinedResults: The mean level of IL-1β in smoking subjects was significantly higher (15.09 ± 0.48) than in non-smoking subjects (5.53 ± 0.79; p=0.001). CAVI values in smoking subjects were also significantly higher (8.0 ± 0.06) than in non-smoking subjects (6.9 ± 0.02; p=0.001). Further analysis showed a strong positive correlation between smoking and IL-1β levels (r=+0.776; p=0.001) and CAVI values (r=+0.759; p=0.001).Conclusion: This study shows that smoking significantly correlates with IL-1β levels and CAVI values. The greater number of cigarettes used per day and the longer duration of smoking, there was a positive correlation between IL-1β levels and arterial stiffness as measured by CAVI.

Abstract

BackgroundPulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) is an important subgroup that accounts for approximately 11% of all patients with PAH. Physical limitations are one of the main symptoms of hemodynamic changes in patients with PH. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of physical exercise therapy for 12 weeks as an additional therapy with PDE-5 inhibitors on the functional capacity of patients with Congenital Heart Disease accompanied by Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (CHD – PH). MethodThis research was an analytic experimental study with a prospective cohort research method. This study used data sources obtained from medical records to adjust subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, initial cardiac training test examination data was carried out at IPJT in patients selected as subjects. The patient's clinical outcomes were followed in the next 12 weeks. ResultThis research was conducted on 16 samples divided into two groups, namely the control and study groups. The evaluation after 12 weeks found that there was an increase in mileage as measured through the 6MWT submaximal test and a better duration of physical activity in the study group tested through the Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT). This is consistent with the effect of physical exercise, which suppresses systemic inflammation and causes vasodilation, thereby increasing oxygen delivery to the tissues. This causes more optimal aerobic metabolism and reduces lactate production. So that the patient did not quickly feel tired during activities. However, there was no significant increase in the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test. This could be due to the relatively short training duration of 12 weeks. Conclusion A positive correlation exists between physical exercise and increased functional capacity of patients with CHD who were evaluated using 6MWT and ESWT.

Abstract

Background: Permanent right ventricular (RV) pacing is a standard for high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block treatment. However, it may result in left ventricular (LV) dilatation, systolic dysfunction, and heart failure (HF) as a consequence of ventricular dyssynchrony and an abnormal myocardial contraction pattern. Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) can develop months or years after implantation of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) in patients who have long-term and high-burden RVP. Case Illustration: We reported a case of a 56 years old Asian female having a record of PPM on VVIR mode implantation due to a high grade AV block presented with shortness of breath and bilateral leg swelling. Conclusion: Echocardiography showed a significant decrease in LV systolic function less than two years after PPM implantation. Coronary angiography showed widely patent vessels; subsequently, His-Bundle Pacing (HBP) was scheduled on the patient.

Abstract

Background: Acute myocardial infarction is one of the emerging cardiovascular events worldwide. Infarcts of the inferior wall were present between one-third and half of the patients with RV involvement. The worse outcome was strongly associated with cardiogenic shock, and 7% of cases were caused by RV failure.Objective: This study aimed to describe the diagnosis and management of cardiogenic shock in STEMICase presentation: A male in his 40s was brought to our hospital 12 hours after the onset of persistent epigastric pain. He had a history of hypertension and a family history of diabetes Mellitus. Diagnostic procedures included blood tests, ECG, X-rays, coronary angiogram, and echocardiography. He underwent PCI to implant DES in his proximal RCA, which had 100% occlusion. The patient was admitted to the intensive cardiovascular care unit for 30 hours and died due to various complications.Conclusion: Current case was very complicated and seriously life-threatening. After acute myocardial infarction, Important problems kept coming up one after the other, and they all affected each other. Patients with cardiogenic shock must be found quickly and treated quickly and aggressively.

Abstract

Background: The role of inflammation in myocardial infarction and post-infarction MI remodeling has become a concern for the development of treatment in the last decade. Colchicine can prevent increased inflammation during acute injury.Objective: This study focused on the role of colchicine as an on-top medical treatment, hoping it can reduce mortality and short-term rehospitalization in patients with STEMI.Methods: 347 AMI patients (18-80 year old adults) who visited RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang, between February 2022 and January 2023, participated in this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlledexperiment. Patients were split into two groups and given either a placebo or  colchicine 0.5 mg daily for a month. Standard medical therapy was administered concurrently to both groups as an approachable guideline. The study endpoints were mortality and rehospitalization rates.Result: After one month of follow-up, there was a reduction in rehospitalization due to cardiovascular causes (2 [1.3%] vs. 4 [2.7%], HR 3.42 [1.36-8.56], p<0.05), which was significant in the treatment group compared to the control group. Also, there was a reduction in all-cause mortality, but not statistically significant (2 [1,3% v 3 [2,0%], HR 3,38 [0,53-7,48], p>0,05). In the treated group, there was also a lower non-cardiovascular rehospitalization rate compared to placebo, but not significant (4 [2.6%] vs. 7 [4.7], HR 0.42 [0.15-1.02], p<0.05).Conclusion: The administration of low-dose colchicine for one month has shown benefits in reducing rehospitalization in patients with STEMI who receive PCI therapy.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in several developing countries, and many of these deaths occur before reaching the hospital due to cardiac arrest. Most patients who return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and are brought to the hospital experience severe neurological damage during cardiac arrest, and this damage is the cause of in-hospital mortality. Improvements in survival and neurologic improvement of patients with CA have focused on two main therapy areas. The first area is improved education and skills of medical and paramedical personnel to improve perfusion post CA. The second area is a greater emphasis on post-resuscitation care which includes optimizing oxygenation and ventilation, avoiding hypotension, treating causes of CA such as acute coronary ischemia, and initiating hypothermia therapy if necessary, as in the 2020 guidelines and recommendations from the American Heart Association (AHA), International Liaison Committee of Resuscitation, and European Resuscitation Council covering the entire spectrum of post-resuscitation care.  The AHA guidelines 2020 recommend optimizing hypothermia therapy for 24 hours with a target temperature between 320C - 360C in ROSC patients to improve clinical outcomes of neurological status after cardiac arrest. This is contrast to the study of Martinell et al in their research which concluded that there was no significant difference in survival rates within 30 days after cardiac arrest in patients who received either hypothermia therapy or those who did not. Hypothermia therapy, which is currently part of the post-resuscitation care recommendations, has varied variables and remains controversial in its implementation. Based on this, this referent will discuss the effects of hypothermia therapy on post-cardiac arrest patients, the stages, and the practical aspects of implementing hypothermia therapy.

Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a prominent contributor to mortality and morbidity on a global scale, consistently ranking within the top five primary causes. Inflammation is one of the many elements that have a role in the pathophysiology of the development and destabilization of plaque atherosclerosis in ACS. Troponin is a component of a biomarker that signals damage to the heart muscle in ACS patients; however, at the present time, not all medical facilities are able to perform troponin testing. An acute myocardial infarction begins with an initial inflammatory process that generates proinflammatory cytokines at the cellular level. This can be evaluated by the NLR through peripheral blood tests. The NLR as an indication of systemic inflammation has been demonstrated to be associated with poor clinical outcomes, an increased risk of complications, and mortality in ACS patients. In addition, several studies showed that the NLR has prognostic value in patients with ACS. The NLR is a mix of inflammatory markers, which can be a predictor of increased troponin in cases of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) in an emergency room.
