Abstract

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus can increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and genetic transcription factors, such as nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB). These phenomena may enhance the progression of atherosclerosis. Additionally, NF-κB can induce apoptosis of pancreatic beta cells and accelerate disease progression. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of calcitriol and ascorbic acid on NF-κβ expression in vivo in aortic and myocardial tissues of Wistar rats. METHODS: This randomized experimental study involved 24 male Wistar rats of the Rattus norvegicus strain, divided into four groups: NC (negative control), PC (positive control), AG (ascorbic acid group), and CG (calcitriol group). The study spanned 90 days, including a 30-day intervention period. Aortic and myocardial samples were processed into histological preparations and stained using immunohistochemical techniques. NF-κB expression was assessed using an intensity scoring method. RESULTS: The CG group demonstrated the lowest NF-κB immunoexpression in myocardial tissue (0.27 ± 0.08), followed by the AG (0.37 ± 0.05), NC (0.68 ± 0.08), and PC (1.13 ± 0.34) groups, with statistically significant 3sbetween the groups (p < 0.05). In aortic tissue, the CG group also exhibited the lowest NF-κB expression (0.30 ± 0.18), followed by the AG (0.50 ± 0.09), NC (0.97 ± 0.05), and PC (1.23 ± 0.38) groups, with statistically significant differences between the groups (p < 0.05).  Similar trends were observed in the immunohistochemical staining of the NF-κB antigen in myocardial and aortic tissue samples. Calcitriol administration was more effective than ascorbic acid in reducing NF-κB expression in both myocardial (p < 0.05) and aortic tissues (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both ascorbic acid and calcitriol reduce NF-κB expression in the aorta and myocardium, with calcitriol showing greater effectiveness than ascorbic acid.

Abstract

Heart failure persists to be a major health problem worldwide. Numerous factors associated with this condition have been studied to determine its prognosis. History of diabetes mellitus is one of the factors extensively studied, nonetheless, the correlation between acutely elevated admission blood glucose in critically ill patients or stress hyperglycemia towards the prognosis of heart failure remains inconclusive among previously reported studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between admission blood glucose and the length of stay of acute heart failure patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia from July to August 2020. Patients’ data were retrieved from medical records documenting admission blood glucose and length of stay. Total sampling was employed, where eighty-five patients diagnosed as acute heart failure were included. The results showed that patients (n=85) had the general characteristics of being normoglycemic on admission (69.4%) and having 5–10 days length of stay (44.7%) with Killip 2 as the presiding Killip Class (50.6%). According to Gamma’s Correlation Coefficient, the p-value of this study is 0.012 (p< 0.05) with a correlation value of 0.454. Therefore, our study revealed the presence of a significant moderate-correlation between admission blood glucose and the length of stay among patients with acute heart failure.

Abstract

Background Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago, faces significant challenges in equitable healthcare delivery due to its geographical and infrastructural disparities. Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of mortality, with over 659,000 deaths recorded in 2019. Effective dyslipidemia management is crucial for preventing adverse ASCVD events. Unfortunately, the lack of implementation of an updated national lipid management registry might hinder optimal strategy for the adverse events. This study evaluated dyslipidemia cholesterol management practices among high- and very high-risk patients across the country. Methods The study recruited 322 patients from eight centers across six provinces in Indonesia between May 2022 and March 2023. Patients were stratified based on the ASCVD risk and followed over three visits. Baseline clinical characteristics, lipid profiles, and treatment regimens were analyzed. Descriptive statistics summarized continuous and categorical variables, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) achievement was assessed. Results Of the 322 patients, 98.8% were very high-risk, with only 4.9% achieving <55 mg/dL and 21.2% achieving <70 mg/dL. Moderate-intensity statins were the most prescribed (51.2%), followed by high-intensity (36.6%). LDL-C reduction was most pronounced in private insurance patients, achieving a mean LDL-C of 69.8 mg/dL at the third visit compared to 98.9 mg/dL in National Health Insurance (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional/JKN) participants. Missed visit rates increased over time, with 57.5% of patients missing the third visit, predominantly among JKN participants and low-income groups. Conclusion Majority of the population failed to achieve the recommended target of LDL-C levels. Dyslipidemia management in Indonesia remains suboptimal, with disparities driven by socioeconomic factors. Improved policies addressing medication availability, national lipid registry establishment, and equitable healthcare access are essential to enhance lipid management and reduce the burden of ASCVD in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) acceleration commonly occur in Heart Failure (HF). Drugs such as Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNI) become essential part of HF treatment. Long-term consumption may impair kidney function and potassium imbalance, which could potentially limit the therapy, therefore we conducted this study to assess the effects of ACEI and ARNI on renal function and potassium level in Indonesian patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), as no local studies exist. Method: A prospective cohort was performed in Banda Aceh, which comprise of 40 ACEI and 40 ARNI patients on standard therapy. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), serum creatinine level then converted into estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), and serum potassium level were measured at baseline and after 3 months into the therapy. Independent t-test was applied to compare groups. Result: Both ARNI and ACEI groups showed significant improvement in eGFR (p < 0.005). The intergroup difference was 11 mg/dL (p = 0.038) showed that ACEI had a better outcome in eGFR improvement compare with ARNI. Potassium rose slightly in both groups, with an intergroup difference of 0.082 mmol/L (p = 0.623), indicating no meaningful difference. Conclusion: Both ACEI and ARNI improved eGFR after 3 months, with a modest potassium increase.

Abstract

Penyakit jantung koroner (PJK) termasuk salah satu penyebab utama kematian di seluruh dunia dengan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas yang tinggi. Intervensi koroner per kutan (IKP) merupakan prosedur untuk melebarkan arteri yang menyempit sehingga aliran darah ke jantung dapat normal kembali. Prosedur  ini  merupakan terapi definitif untuk mengatasi PJK. Namun setelah menjalani IKP pasien mengalami penurunan dalam aktivitas fisik dan stamina. Program rehabilitasi jantung yang terstruktur membantu pasien untuk secara bertahap meningkatkan aktivitas fisik mereka melalui latihan yang aman dan efektif, sehingga dapat memperbaiki fungsi kardio-pulmonal, daya tahan tubuh serta meningkatkan kapasitas fungsional dan kualitas hidup. Rehabilitasi jantung dapat dilakukan secara terpusat dengan pengawasan profesional kesehatan atau secara mandiri oleh pasien yang dilakukan di rumah. Untuk membandingkan efektivitas program rehabilitasi jantung terpusat dengan program rehabilitasi jantung mandiri terhadap kapasitas fungsional pasien pasca IKP. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian quasi-eksperimental. Subjek penelitian dibagi dalam dua kelompok, yaitu satu kelompok menjalani program rehabilitasi jantung terpusat yang dilaksanakan di unit rehabilitasi jantung RSUDZA dan kelompok lainnya melakukan rehabilitasi jantung mandiri di rumah. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari pasien yang telah menjalani intervensi koroner per kutan dan memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Uji paired samples t-test menunjukkan peningkatan kapasitas fungsional yang signifikan pada kedua kelompok dengan nilai rata-rata 6MWT akhir lebih tinggi daripada 6MWT awal dengan p value <0.0001 (<0.05), menandakan bahwa program rehabilitasi jantung baik terpusat maupun mandiri efektif meningkatkan kapasitas fungsional pasien. Selain itu, hasil uji menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik dalam peningkatan kapasitas fungsional pasien pada kelompok rehabilitasi jantung terpusat (tersupervisi) dengan kelompok rehabilitasi jantung mandiri dengan p value 0.058. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kedua modalitas rehabilitasi jantung memberikan manfaat yang serupa dalam perbaikan kapasitas fungsional pada pasien PJK pasca IKP, memberikan fleksibilitas dalam pilihan program rehabilitasi berdasarkan preferensi dan kesediaan pasien, sehingga memudahkan pasien yang ingin menjalani rehabilitasi jantung.
