Abstract

ABSTRACT  Valvular heart disease accountsfor 10% to 20% of all cardiac surgical procedures in the United States. The decision to intervene, as well as the type of intervention for a patient with severe valvular heart disease, should be based on an individual risk-benefit analysis. Once a patient is considered a candidate for cardiac surgery, a comprehensive patient evaluation of medical conditions and comorbidities helps improve operative outcomes and minimize the mortality rate. Patients with severe valvular heart disease with chronic heart failure at times, progressing to malnutrition. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery experience a systemic inflammatory response, which contributes to acute organ injury leading to a higher incidence of comorbidities and worse malnutrition. Therefore, preoperative risk and nutritional assessment are critical in performing safe cardiac surgical procedures. We report a case of a malnourished 17-year-old man with multiple valvular heart disease with optimal preparation, including good nutritional status leading to good outcome of complex cardiac surgery even in the high risk patients. Keywords             : valvular heart disease, malnutrition, perioperative assessmentCorrespondence   : dr.dianparamita@yahoo.com

Abstract

Despite the increasing use of permanent cardiac pacemakers in a younger patient population, there are little data related to pregnancy. Normal physiologic alterations of pregnancy need to be taken into account in the management of the pregnant woman with a pacemaker in place. Similarly, gestational events including the potential for  surgical intervention require a basic knowledge of pacemaker technology and monitoring. We present a case of a patient with junctional escape rhythm and was implanted pacemaker during pregnancy. A 24 years old women referred from obstetric outpatient clinic with asymptomatic bradycardia and cryptogenic stroke 2 years earlier. ECG shows sinus arrest with junctional escape rhythm. After multi-disciplinary discussion, team decided to implant double chamber pacemaker implantation. The pacemaker setting is adjusted to prepare caesarean section at 39 weeks gestation with delivery of an aterm infant. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pre-pregnancy pacemaker settings were re-established after the postpartum period. The current literature on managing pregnant patients with pacemakers is quite limited. Such patients require a multidisciplinary approach to care. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) should be noticed.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Transdifferentiation is a method to provide cells sources for cellular cardiomyoplasty. CD34+ cells are potential cells sources because these cells can differentiate into cardiomyocytes through several mechanisms. MicroRNA (miR-1) is known to have the ability to inhibit the expression of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4). HDAC4 is a gene that essentially contributes in cardiomyocytes differentiation. However, the study reporting an evidence that miR-1 can induce transdifferentiation of CD34+ peripheral blood cells into mature cardiomyocytes is limited.METHODS: CD34+ cells were taken from peripheral blood and isolated using a magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) method in vitro. Mature mimics of miR-1 were transfected into isolated CD34+ cells and then incubated for 48 hours for quantification of HDAC4 mRNA using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). On the fifth day after miR-1 transfection, cardiomyocyte-like cells were identified based on their morphology and cardiac troponin expression using immunocytochemistry.RESULTS: Transfection of miR-1 in CD34+ isolated cells decreased HDAC4 gene expression by -0.54 fold at second day and caused a significant increase in percentage of cardiac troponin positive cells (median: 31.34; p<0.05) at fifth-day post-transfection. The efficiency of transdifferentiation was 32%. The miR-1 transfection had a significant negative relationship with HDAC4 gene expression (B=-1.000; p=0.001). HDAC4 gene expression had a negative and significant relationship with the percentage of cardiac troponin-positive cells (B=-0.701; p=0.001).CONCLUSION: This study suggests that miR-1 can induce transdifferentiation of peripheral blood CD34+ cells into cardiomyocytes-like cells by decreasing HDAC4 gene expression.KEYWORDS: transdifferentiation, microRNA-1, CD34, cardiomyocyte, HDAC4

Abstract

Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by tricuspid valve malformation, atrialization of the RV, and hemodynamic disturbances that may affect both ventricles. Assessing ventricular function in this condition is essential because it is closely related to disease progression, clinical symptoms, and long term prognosis. Conventional parameters such as TAPSE, RVFAC, and LVEF are commonly used but have limitations. Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE), through Right Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (RVGLS) and Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (LVGLS), provides higher sensitivity for detecting ventricular dysfunction. This narrative literature review evaluates the role of RVGLS and LVGLS in patients with Ebstein anomaly. Evidence shows that RVGLS is more accurate in identifying RV dysfunction compared with TAPSE and RVFAC, and possesses strong prognostic value for mortality. LVGLS can detect LV dysfunction at a subclinical stage even when LVEF remains preserved, reflecting involvement of longitudinal myocardial fibers due to ventricular interdependence and secondary remodeling. After tricuspid valve surgery, both RVGLS and LVGLS remain sensitive indicators of changes in ventricular performance. Overall, RVGLS and LVGLS demonstrate superiority over conventional systolic parameters and are recommended as primary tools for evaluating biventricular function in patients with Ebstein anomaly
