Abstract

The therapeutic approach to hypertension often varies across racial and ethnic groups; however, antihypertensive treatments have not yet been tailored to account for these variations in Indonesia, a country with diverse racial and ethnic groups. In addition, microRNA-133 (miR-133) and microRNA-155 (miR-155) play critical roles in cardiac muscle homeostasis and inflammatory responses, but their specific functions in hypertension remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between circulating miR-133 and miR-155 levels and angiotensin II (ANG-II) levels in hypertensive patients from Melanesian and non-Melanesian populations in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Jayapura, Indonesia among Melanesian and non-Melanesian hypertensive patients. The levels of ANG-II were quantified using sandwich ELISA, while the relative expression of miR-133 and miR-155 levels were measured by real-time PCR. Differences between the two groups were assessed using the Mann-Whitney test, and correlations between miR and ANG-II levels were determined using the Spearman correlation test. The relative expression levels of miR-133 and miR-155 in the Melanesian group were significantly higher than in the non-Melanesian group; 6.94-fold (3.85 vs 0.55) and 2.1-fold higher (0.19 vs 0.09), respectively. MiR-133 had a moderate negative correlation with ANG-II in both Melanesian (r=-0.538; p<0.001) and non-Melanesian (r=-0.649; p<0.001). However, miR-155 had no significant correlation with ANG-II levels in either the Melanesian group (p=0.551) or non-Melanesian group (p=0.159). This study highlights that miR-133 levels are significantly correlated with ANG-II concentrations in both Melanesian and non-Melanesian hypertensive patients, suggesting that miR-133 may play a regulatory role in the ANG-II pathway. These findings provide insights into the potential of miR-133 as a biomarker for hypertension management in diverse populations.

Abstract

Hipertensi merupakan faktor risiko utama penyakit kardiovaskular, yang jika tidak diterapi secara tepat dapat meningkatkan morbiditas dan mortalitas. Latihan fisik merupakan salah satu bentuk upaya nonfarmakologis pencegahan, pengobatan, serta rehabilitasi pasien hipertensi. Dosis latihan fisik hendaknya sesuai kondisi masing-masing penderita hipertensi. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease which, if not properly treated, can increase morbidity and mortality. Exercise is non-pharmacological method in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of hypertension. The dose of physical exercise should be appropriate.

Abstract

As the primary cause of hospitalization in acute heart failure (AHF) patients, congestion was responsible for a higher risk of mortality, rehospitalization, and renal dysfunction in AHF patients. Although loop diuretic was routinely used as the mainstay of AHF therapy, it is still ineffective to obtain the euvolemic state in most hospitalized AHF patients. Therefore, a higher loop diuretic dose was often required to increase the decongestion effect. However, consequently, it can cause several detrimental complications, including renal dysfunction, neurohormonal activation, hyponatremia, hypokalaemia, and reduced blood pressure, which eventually result in poor prognosis. Hence, the new approach may be proposed to optimize decongestion in acute phase, including the use of arginine vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist – Tolvaptan. As an additive therapy to loop diuretic in AHF patients, it can be considered due to its several beneficial effects, including greater decongestion effect, lowered worsening renal function incidence, counteract neurohormonal activation, neutralized hyponatraemic state, no alteration of potassium metabolism, stabilize the blood pressure, and reduced requirement of a higher dose of loop diuretic to achieve an equal or even greater decongestion effect compared to a high dose of loop diuretic alone. Tolvaptan provided favourable outcomes in several specific populations and was considered safe with several mild adverse effects. Several guidelines across countries have approved the use of Tolvaptan in AHF patients with or without hyponatremia. The initial dose of Tolvaptan was 7.5 to 15 mg and can be titrated up to 30 mg. However, further studies were still required to determine the timing dose and optimal dose of Tolvaptan in general and elderly populations with AHF, respectively.
