Abstract

Background: Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Prediabetes is a precursor before the diagnosis of diabetes. Patients with prediabetes and diabetes have several risk factors, one of which is dyslipidemia. The TG/HDL ratio is found to be positively associated with insulin resistance and CVD. This study was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between TG/HDL ratio and the incidence of prediabetes and diabetes. Method: This analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on July-December 2023. The study samples were prediabetic and diabetic patients who met the acceptance criteria of the study subjects. They were tested for BMI, BG, HbA1C and lipid profile. Data analysis used paired t test and Pearson correlation Result: In this study, BMI was greater in the prediabetes group than the diabetes group. There was a negative correlation between age, BG and HDL levels on TG/HDL ratio in prediabetic and diabetic patients. There was a significant relationship between fasting BG, 2 hours after meals BG, HbA1C and TG/HDL ratio when compared between the prediabetes and the diabetes group. Conclusion: In this study, there was no association between TG/HDL ratio in prediabetes and diabetes. Keywords: Prediabetes, diabetes, TG, HDL, HbA1c

Abstract

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) affects approximately 64 million people globally, contributing to high mortality, morbidity, reduced quality of life, and substantial healthcare burden. Acute heart failure (AHF) requires urgent intervention and carries elevated risks of mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk score, originally developed for predicting in-hospital mortality in HF patients, has shown potential in forecasting MACE in certain populations. However, its association with MACE in Indonesian AHF patients remains underexplored. Method: This retrospective observational cohort study included 319 AHF patients admitted to Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from January 2024 to March 2025. Patient characteristics, GWTG-HF scores, and in-hospital MACE were recorded. Statistical analyses involved receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariate regression. Results: Patients had a mean age of 55 years, with 54.5% males. Median hospital stay was 5 days (range 1–47). Predominant features included acute decompensated HF (65.8%), infection as etiology (46.7%), HFrEF (52.0%), coronary heart disease (62.4%), and smoking (50.8%). In-hospital MACE occurred in 20.4% of patients, primarily mortality (18.8%), increasing with GWTG-HF risk categories (low: 8.1%; moderate: 17.4%; high: 36.7%). Age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, sodium, and blood urea nitrogen significantly influenced MACE (p<0.05). The GWTG-HF score demonstrated good predictive performance for MACE (AUC 0.759, p<0.001; sensitivity 63.2%; specificity 78.1%). Conclusion: The GWTG-HF score is significantly associated with in-hospital MACE in Indonesian AHF patients, supporting its utility as a risk stratification tool to guide clinical decisions and optimize management.

Abstract

Background: Non-fluoroscopic, transesophageal-guided percutaneous closure of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) can be a first-line strategy to reduce radiation exposure and its cumulative effects. We report our experience as the first center located far from the capital city of Indonesia that routinely performs transcatheter closure of ASD under the guidance of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) without fluoroscopy. Methods: We collected data of patients whose ASD was successfully closed percutaneously from May 2020 to August 2024. For a total of 116 patients of secundum ASD that are suitable for device closure, we routinely intend to do non-fluoroscopy transcatheter ASD closure guided by TEE. Results: The zero-fluoroscopy technique was successfully performed in 111 patients. The ASD diameter is 10-40 mm, and the mean size of the occluding device is 9-42 mm. The mean procedural times are 55.81 ± 22.7 minutes. The success rate is 95% with only one case of pericardial effusion. Five cases were excluded as they were finally assisted by fluoroscopy due to the limitation of the echocardiographic view. Conclusion: A thorough transcatheter ASD closure technique guided by TEE can routinely be performed without fluoroscopy.
