Background: Confirming mitral valve area (MVA) by planimetry is one of the standard procedures for assessing mitral stenosis but MVA were frequently need to be confirmed by other echocardiography parameters that only available in sophisticated centers. Our aim was to evaluate the significance of a simple mitral inflow color M-mode velocity propagation (Vp) for estimating MVA and MS severity.Methods: The best color view of MS jet were taken from apical 4 chamber, the nyquist limit were adjusted for aliasing the central highest velocity, then M-mode were applied to MV to calculate Vp by measuring the slope of the blue jet with the first aliasing velocity. MVA,PHT and mean transmitral gradient were analyzed with Pearson correlation and linear regression. Predictive discrimination value of Vp were analyzed by ROC.Results: Thirty one MS patients had mean MVA planimetry 0.99 ± 0.35 cm2 and mean Vp 64.49 ± 21.63 cm/s. Vp that were found to have a strong negative correlation with MVA (Spearman rho -0.865, p < 0.01). Vp had a good predictive discrimination value as from AUC 0.931. Vp were found to have a moderate correlation with MVA by PHT ( Spearman rho -0.621, p <0.01). Vp more than 55 cm/s had 93.8% sensitivity and 86.7% specificity to distinguish severe MS.Conclusions: By making use of the high temporal resolution of M-mode, a simple color Mitral M-Mode Vp were found statistically significant for estimating MVA severity in MS. Interventional decision for MS could also consider Vp for its strong correlation with MVA on MS, especially for helping on targeting moderate to severe MS in rural and limited centers.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in the world. AMI is classified into ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Diagnosis and prediction of severity of atherosclerotic in NSTEMI is a challenge. Despite the risk stratification, 14-20% of patients that undergo coronary angiography have normal or non significant coronary artery disease. The role of platelet and the extent of atherotrombosis in patients with NSTEMI are interesting field of research. Mean platelet volume (MPV) reflects platelet size and reactivity. It can be used as a diagnostic marker and may have predictive value. This study aims to prove the role of MPV as a predictor of the degree of atherosclerotic based on Syntax score in patients with NSTEMI undergoing coronary angiography.Methods: This is a cross sectional study enrolled 86 subjects with NSTEMI. Blood samples were taken at the time of admission to the hospital. An MPV was measured by automated machine. Subsequent coronary angiography was performed using standardized method. Syntax score was determined to reflect the atherosclerotic severity. Statistical analysis was used to assess whether an MPV as a predictor of atherosclerotic severity based on Syntax score.Results: The chi-square analysis showed that high MPV could not be used as a predictor of the atherosclerotic severity based on Syntax score in NSTEMI patients (p value =0.5, prevalence ratio 1.15 (95% CI: 0.755-1.753). From multivariate analysis, only smoking factor had an independent relationship with Syntax score (p value =0.047; Odds ratio 2.531(95% CI: 1.012-6.328).Conclusions: High MPV cannot be used as a predictor of atherosclerotic severity based on Syntax score in NSTEMI patients.

Background: Improved functional capacity (FC) and inflammatory marker reduction is a good prognostic factor in post-revascularization cardiac patients. However, there is still limited study investigated association of functional capacity and inflammatory marker after cardiac rehabilitation program. We studied the effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program in the improvement of FC and high-sensitive-C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) reduction and association between those variables.Methods: This was quasi experimental study in post-revascularization CAD patients who attended phase II CR program at CR gymnasium, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from October 2014 to May 2015. The CR program included additional education sessions and consistently strict program intensity on 50-80% heart rate reserve based on formula and Borg scale 11 to 15. Functional capacity and hsCRP were measured before and after the program. Functional capacity was assessed by maximal treadmill test through indirect VO2 max measurement.Results: A total of 37 patients aged 56.05±7.3 years old were analyzed in this study. They consisted mainly of men (81.1%) which 78.4% of them underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Our study revealed significant FC improvement after completion of this newly-modified CR program from an average of 6.76 to 8.68 METs (28.4%) ( p<0.001). Hs-CRP reduction was also occurred from mean of 0.49 mg/L to 0.20 mg/L (59.2%) of log hs-CRP level (p= 0.005). Linear regression analysis showed the improvement of fitness was associated with baseline FC (p<0.001) and reduction of hs-CRP was associated with baseline hs-CRP (p<0.001), and not influenced by age, gender, ejection fraction and type of procedure. There is moderate correlation (rs= 0.636, p<0.001) between functional capacity improvement and hs-CRP reduction. Each 1 METs improvement can reduce 9.317 mg/L of transformed hs-CRP level (p=0.006, 95%CI 2.942,15.693).Conclusions: CR program significantly increased functional capacity and reduce hsCRP level in post-revascularization CAD patient, and more prominent in a patient with low baseline functional capacity and high hs-CRP level. Functional capacity improvement and hs-CRP reduction were moderately correlated.

Background: Heart disease is the number one cause of death globally. This disease is initiation affected by autonomic dysfunction which will cause disruption of the sympathetic-parasympathetic system. Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) is used to determineautonomic dysfunction.Objective: To determine the relationship of risk factors and cardiovascular treatment to HRR values of 1 minute and 2 minutes.Methods: Cross sectional study to measure HRR 1 and 2 minute undergoing exercise treadmill test for the screening of coronary heart disease in Saiful Anwar hospital in May 2016 until September 2017. Univariate analysis was performed to determine the frequency and proportion of HRR values classified into normal groups (HRR 1 minute > 12x / minute or HRR 2 minutes > 22x / minute) and abnormal groups (HRR 2 minutes ≤ 12x / minute or HRR 2 minutes ≤ 22x / minute).We also performed bivariate analysis using comparative test (Generalized Linear Model) and correlation test (Pearson, Spearman and Eta) and multivariate linear regression analysis.Results: This study found that age, hypertension and beta blocker were significantly associated with HRR abnormalities (p<0.05). HRR 1 and HRR 2 were significantly associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) (p=0.004 and p=0.039) and beta blocker (p=0.042 and p=0.039). Then looking at the relationship of multivariate correlations found a significant correlation between age (β=-0.133, p=0.000) and DM (β=-2.617, p=0.032) at 1 minute HRR and significant correlation with age (β=-0.165, p=0.004) and beta blockers (β=-2,947, p=0.017).Conclusion: increasing of age, diabetes mellitus and beta blockers correlate with decreasing of HRR. The most influential risk factors for HRR values of 1 minute were increasing age and DM, while for HRR values of 2 minutes were increasing age and beta blockers.

Background: Diastolic dysfunction as part of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has gain interests, due to the increasing prevalence rate and poor prognosis. Besides the mechanism is not fully understood, there are some difficulties in detecting the presence of diastolic dysfunction. Previous studies have shown correlation between some electrocardiographic parameters and diastolic function. Furthermore, the aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of the QTc interval in detecting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on patients with clinical suspicion of heart failure. Electrocardiographic examination was performed to obtain QTc interval (msec) using the Bazett formula. Left ventricular diastolic function was assessed using Tissue Doppler Imaging by echocardiography. Using correlation test and ROC method, the relationships between QTc interval and LV diastolic function were investigated.Results: Of 82 patients analyzed, there were 62 patients (75.9%) known to have diastolic dysfunction. The QTc interval was found to be longer in the group with diastolic dysfunction compared to the normal group (442.9±27 vs. 402.1±18.2, p <0.001). There was a strong negative correlation between the QTc interval and diastolic function (r = -0.619; p <0.001). Using ROC analysis, the cut off point for QTc interval was 410 ms with 91% sensitivity, 70% specificity, and 90% positive predictive value.Conclusion: The QTc interval is an accurate, simple and highly feasible electrocardiographic parameter as a screening tool to determine the presence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Background: Obesity is one of the global health problems with increasing prevalence, and the complication is related to the alteration of the left ventricle. An obese person without symptoms has impaired diastolic function compares to a normal population, but the mechanism is still unclear. One of the evolving theories is caused by chronic inflammation, characterized by the increase of proinflammatory adipocytokines in an obese person. Leptin is a chronic inflammatory marker which is synthesized by all adipose tissues and has a positive correlation with the body mass index. Leptin level are influenced by age except young adult group. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between leptin level and diastolic function of the left ventricle in youngadult obese.Method: This study was conducted in a single centre with cross-sectional design. The subject of this study consists of all young adult obese, worked in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, between June-August 2018. The diastolic function of the left ventricle was measured by examining the ventricle relaxation (E/mean e’) by tissue doppler imaging method. The examination of leptin level was done by sandwich-ELISA testmethod. Pearson correlation test was done to assess the correlation between those two.Result: This study consisted of 38 patients with the mean of age 30.75±7.25 years old, 68% were males. The mean score of E/mean e’ was 6.49±3.02 ng/mL and the median of leptin was 13.95 (9.1–25.4) mg/L. After data log transformation of leptin was done, there was a significant positive correlation (r= 0.5892, p<0.001) between leptin level and E/mean e’.Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between the level of leptin and diastolic function of the left ventricle in young adult obese.

Background: Epidemiological data show that the incidence of heart failure after myocardial infarction is about 20%. The incidence of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction is also known to increase post-infarct mortality. The incidence of heart failure is related to the remodelling process after acute myocardial infarction. The acute remodelling process after acute myocardial infarction involves a mechanical mechanism in which there is a change in left ventricular geometry as an adaptive response to the incidence of infarction and then results in increased left ventricular wall stress. Increased left ventricular wall stress can be assessed by measuring global longitudinal strain (GLS) using echocardiography. On the other hand, mechanical overload in the myocardium is known to increase sST2 levels. The relationship between increased levels of sST2 and left ventricular GLS in patients with acute myocardial infarction has never been studied before.Methods: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted from July to September 2018 at Dr Sardjito Hospital. Patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Measurement of sST2 levels and echocardiographic examination was performed on the first day after admission. Correlation test analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between sST2 levels and left ventricular GLS.Results: There were 72 subjects, with 62 STEMI subjects and 10 NSTEMI subjects. The mean level of sST2 in this study was 4,252 ± 198 pg / mL. Measurement of the left ventricular function obtained a mean ejection fraction of 47 ± 9%, LVIDd 45.79 ± 6.2 mm and GLS values of -9.3 ± 3.3%. Correlation test using Spearman test showed that there was no correlation between increased sST2 levels and decreased GLS values in patients with acute myocardial infarction (r = -0.133; p = 0.344).Conclusion: Increased sST2 levels were not correlated with decreased GLS values in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a pathophysiological disorder involving a wide range of clinical conditions. This can be a condition of complications from heart disease and respiratory system. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥ 25 mmHg at rest assessed by right heart catheterization. The cardiovascular rehabilitation program is a set of efforts to improve the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease such that it can maintain or restore the best conditions and secondary prevention. Cardiac rehabilitation and physical exercise programs have the benefit of improving pulmonary vascular endothelial function, physical activity capacity and quality of life parameters for PAH patients. A 6-minute walk test can be used to assess the functional capacity of PAH patients.
