Abstract

Background : Recently, studies have concerned on the use of xanthones for treating patients with cardiovascular diseases. In our country, xanthones were found in Garcinia Mangostana Linn.Objectives : To assess the effect of Garcinia Mangostana Linn Extract (GMLE) to the levels of Circulating Endothelial Cells (CEC) and Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) in patients with high framingham score.Methods : A prospective cohort study was conducted from November 2018 to January 2019. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group was given 2520 mg/day of GMLE for 90 days and the second group was given placebo. In sub group analyses, patients were divided based on previous medication, including statin, statin and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), statin and oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD), and statin and ACEI or ARB and OAD. The outcome measures were CEC and EPC levels, measured at baseline and after 90 days of treatment. We used multiple linear regression to analyze the correlation and effect estimates.Results: A total of 72 patients was included in our study. All of the patients baseline characteristics were distributed homogeneously (p>0.05). Our findings confirmed that GMLE administration was associated with decreased CEC level compared to placebo. On other hands, increased EPC level compared to placebo was observed after GMLE administration. In sub-group analyses, our study found that the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and OAD were associated with decreased level of CEC compared to placebo, with the odd ratios were 0.12 and 0.18, respectively. Conversely, increased level of EPC was observed in subjects receiving the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and the combination of GMLE with statin.Conclusion: Administration of GMLE as adjuvant therapy is associated with the improvement of CEC and EPC levels in patients with high framingham scores.

Abstract

The diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) remains challenging. Detailed echocardiography is a sensitive tool for identifying structural and functional when ARVC is suspected. A thorough assessment of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is required to further establish the diagnosis. This case illustration aimed to broaden the awareness of right ventricular cardiomyopathy among physicians, establishing the appropriate diagnostic approaches, and sensible use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators may help to prevent unnecessary deaths.

Abstract

AbstractThe most common genetic cardiomyopathy, HCM has a prevalence about 0.2%. It is transmitted autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The natural history is benign but adverse outcomes can be happened in some patients including sudden cardiac death, symptoms secondary to dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, diastolic filling abnormalities, atrial fibrillation, and LV systolic dysfunction.Imaging modalities can be used to evaluate cardiac structure and function, the presence and severity of dynamic obstruction, mitral valve abnormalities, mitral regurgitation, as well as myocardial ischemia and fibrosis. Echocardiography is the initial imaging modality for evaluation of cardiac structure. CMR is recommended when echocardiographic images is not adequate in selected patients with high index of suspicion for HCM. In case of contraindication to CMR, patients with ICDs or pacemakers, Cardiac CT is recommended. Imaging can be used to guide treatment, screening and preclinical diagnosis in patient HCM.

Abstract

BackgroundCoarctation of the abdominal aorta (AoA) is a very uncommon condition, accounting for 0.5-2 percent of all aortic stenosis cases. We present an 11-year-old child who has been diagnosed with abdominal aorta coarctation. Case IllustrationAn 11-years old boy complained about dizziness since 1.5 years ago with hypertension. He underwent hypertension treatment for 1.5 years with a pediatrician but there is no improvement in his blood pressure. His current blood pressure was 150/95 mmHg in upper extremities and 120/80 mmHg in lower extremities with three antihypertensives drugs. We found bruit in the abdomen and decreases pulse in lower extremities. An echocardiogram shows no congenital defect. The first was on suspicion of renal stenosis and underwent ultrasonography of the abdomen but was not conclusive. Computed Tomography Angiographic (CTA) showed severe stenosis in the abdominal aorta on level thoracal 11-12. Aortogram shows significant stenosis in the abdominal aorta with a pressure gradient was 47 mmHg. He underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with BMS self-stent implantation. At two months of follow up his blood pressure target was achieved with a minimal dose of oral antihypertensive drugs DiscussionHow to diagnose coarctation of the abdominal aorta is still challenging and often underdiagnosed. Patients with young age and persistent hypertension should be more careful in diagnosis. A  bruit in the abdomen with a weak pulse in the lower extremity raises suspicion of Coarctation of the Abdominal Aorta. An angioplasty procedure, either with or without a stent or a surgery might be used as the primary therapy.
