Abstract

Cardiovascular rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach that includes exercise instruction, reduction of cardiac risk factors, psychosocial assessment, and result evaluation. Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR), which includes exercise training, has been shown to significantly improve people with heart failure's quality of life, functional ability, and hospitalizations for heart failure-related conditions. There are so many benefits that are crucial for patients that they must be implemented fully in every health center. The objective for all healthcare practitioners must be to include CR in the regular, normal management of HF patients.

Abstract

Background: Cardiomyopathy in young people, especially those associated with HIV infection, has been reduced since the era of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). In the era of post-HAART, manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated cardiomyopathy with impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic function are approximately about 1-3% of HIV-infected people. In this case, we presented how to diagnose and appropriately manage such a patient.Case Illustration: A 27-year-old male patient who works as a health worker came to the emergency room with complaints of shortness of breath; it worsened in the last 2 weeks. He got vital signs: blood pressure 97/60 mmHg, heart rate 118 bpm, respiratory rate 23 tpm, and oxygen saturation 99 % with oxygen supplementation of 8 lpm. Risk factors in patients such as smoking, family history, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia were denied. He was diagnosed with HIV on (antiretroviral therapy) ART 3 years ago with risk factors for free sex without protection. The last CD4 value was 796 cells/ul (normal value 637 – 1485). The echocardiography showed all chamber dilatation, global hypokinetic, and a significant decrease in LV systolic function (LVEF 16%). Laboratory examination showed an increase of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) into 6824 pg/mL (normal value <85.8). It was then treated by optimizing HF therapy continue HIV therapy.Conclusion: In HIV patients who have fallen into heart failure, a proper diagnosis using relevant tools could be a reference for clinicians to make the right decision. Prompt treatment combination of optimal HF therapy and HIV therapy are becoming the keys to the treatment.

Abstract

AbstractBackground: Platelet aggregation and inflammation have been associated with atherosclerosis, and inflammatory parameters such as mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and mean platelet-lymphocyte volume ratio (MPLVR) are often used. However, the relationship between these inflammatory parameters and the SYNTAX Score in CAD remains uncertain.Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between angiographic SYNTAX score, NLR, and platelet parameters (MPV, PLR, MPLVR).Material and Methods : We conducted a study involving patients undergoing elective coronary angiography from January 2023 to June 2023 at Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital, who were 18 years of age or older and had CAD. All participants willingly agreed to be part of the study. We collected complete routine blood counts and performed blood biochemistry assessments 24 hours before the coronary angiography procedure. Pearson's correlation was used to examine the relationship between the variables.Result: A total of 366 individuals meeting the study's inclusion criteria were included. MPV, PLR, MPLVR, NLR, and PDW showed weak to negligible correlations with the SYNTAX Score, displaying correlation coefficients of 0.260, 0.190, 0.320, 0.470, and 0.290, respectively, all with p-values <0.001.Conclusion: This study in individuals with coronary artery disease revealed a limited to negligible correlation between the SYNTAX Score and inflammatory parameters including MPV, PLR, MPLVR, NLR, and PDW.Â
