Abstract

This article discusses the health promotion program among Indonesian migrant workers and their children living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, aiming for a better awareness of their health condition. In particular, this article describes and analyzes the community engagement program in Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) and Muhammadiyah Malaysia (PCIM) to provide health education and screening. Based on the preliminary study, Indonesian migrant workers and their families have limited access to healthcare facilities and programs. The program covers topics such as healthy reproduction and sexual vigilance for the youth, well-being and healthy lifestyles, as well as the importance of basic health screening. The program employs a qualitative study, employing the pre- and post-tests to measure the increase of knowledge before and after the program using descriptive statistics. As a result, an increase in awareness regarding health conditions among the youth can be identified after being exposed to the program. Meanwhile, the health screening program successfully identifies the health profile of migrant workers: a tendency to be overweight and a suffer from degenerative diseases. The screening results made them to be more aware of their health condition. The program was well received, as shown by the number of participants and further requests for a regular health screening. This finding indicates that future studies are required, to identify the daily diet of migrant workers and other health indicators. A similar phenomenon might occur with migrant workers globally, showing the importance of the provision of access and health programs for them.

Abstract

Background: A Double Chambered Right Ventricle (DCRV) is an uncommon congenital heart defect in which an abnormal muscular bundle divides the Right Ventricle (RV) into two chambers with different pressure levels. Diagnosing DCRV in adults is challenging because it is often asymptomatic and may be misdiagnosed. Case Illustration: We present a 37-year-old male with a history of an uncorrected Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), who was incidentally found to have type 2 DCRV on echocardiography during evaluation for abdominal pain. No residual VSD was detected, possibly due to spontaneous closure. Electrocardiography (ECG) revealed first-degree Atrioventricular (AV) block. Chest radiography showed cardiomegaly with a Cardiothoracic Ratio (CTR) of 0.56. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated an anomalous muscular bundle that divided the RV into a high-pressure proximal chamber and a low-pressure distal chamber, accompanied by left atrial and ventricular enlargement. Conclusion: DCRV in adults is often misdiagnosed as pulmonary stenosis, especially in patients with mild or no symptoms. TTE and Doppler imaging are key diagnostic modalities for accurate diagnosis; however, advanced imaging techniques such as Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) may be required in complex cases. Management includes symptom control, such as beta-blockers, and further evaluation to determine the need for surgical intervention.
