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

This study aimed to evaluate the relationships of the left atrial volume index (LAVI) and left ventricular geometry with the incidence of AF in hypertensive patients with cardiovascular complications such as heart failure or coronary arterial disease.  This study employed a retrospective observational cohort design. A total of 202 subjects met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study. The subjects were selected from hypertensive patients with cardiovascular complications treated at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Banda Aceh, a tertiary referral center in Indonesia, between July and December 2024. 12At the end of the study, the participants were divided into two groups: those with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (n=37) and those without atrial fibrillation (n=165). The diagnosis of new-onset atrial fibrillation was based on medical records obtained during hospitalization and continued through a three-month follow-up after discharge via outpatient clinic visits and 12-lead ECG monitoring. The study revealed a significant association between increased LAVI and AF incidence (p < 0.01). The mean LAVI in the AF group was 49.9 ± 19.2 ml/m², whereas it was 33.34 ± 15.6 ml/m² in the non-AF group. Additionally, changes in left ventricular geometry were correlated with increased AF incidence (p value = 0.03), with eccentric hypertrophy showing the highest AF incidence (29.5%). A strong association was also found between increased LAVI and left ventricular geometric changes, with eccentric hypertrophy resulting in the highest mean LAVI (43.2 ± 16.9 ml/m²). The odds ratio (OR) analysis demonstrated that patients with LAVI above the threshold had a significantly greater risk of developing AF (OR: 5.2; 95% CI: 2.475–11.161). Similarly, patients with normal ventricular geometry had a significantly lower risk of AF compared to those with eccentric hypertrophy (OR: 0.148; 95% CI: 0.049–0.449). Increased LAVI and left ventricular geometry changes, particularly eccentric hypertrophy, are significant risk factors for AF in hypertensive patients with cardiovascular complications such as heart failure and coronary arterial disease. Clinical practice should incorporate echocardiographic monitoring of left ventricular geometry and LAVI to prevent the progression of AF and detect risk early
