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.

Background: Right ventricular (RV) volume overload that occurs in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) could lead to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). RV function has been found depressed in some patients with PAH. Myocardial performance index (MPI) is one of methods to assess RV function. The aim of this study was to assess correlation between RVfunction using RV-MPI with PAH severity in patients with ASD. Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study between July 2012-July 2013. We enrolled 67patients with secundum type ASD. RV-MPI, defi ned as the sum of isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time derived by ejection time, was measured from tricuspid infl ow and RV outflow. The normal range is 0.28-0.32. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was measured from echocardiography. Results: There were 67 patients (54 women) with mean age was 38.01±14.29 years (11.9% with no PAH, 11.9% mild PAH, 26.9% moderate PAH and 49.3% severe PAH). The mean PASP was 67.16±32.33 mmHg and mean MPI was 0.44±0.25. We found signifi cant correlation between PASP and MPI (r=0.73; p=0.000). In addition, we classifi ed the PAH severity based on PASP and there was signifi cant differences of MPI between groups (no PAH, MPI 0.25±0.07; mild PAH 0.24±0.05; moderate PAH 0.24±0.12; severe PAH 0.63±0.21; p=0.000). Furthermore, in severe PAH group, the correlation between PASP and MPI remain signifi cant (r=0.42; p<0.05). Conclusion: These result demonstrate a correlation between PAH severity and MPI in patientswith ASD. Specifi cally, RV function found decreased in ASD patients with severe PAH.Keyword: myocardial performance index (Tei index), pulmonary arterial hypertension, right ventricular function, atrial septal defect

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which structural / functional myocardial abnormalities result in symptoms and signs of hypoperfusion and/or pulmonary or systemic congestion at rest or during exercise. More than 80% of deaths in patients with HF recognize a cardiovascular cause, with most being either sudden cardiac death (SCD) or death caused by progressive pump failure. Risk stratification of SCD in patients with HF represents a clinical challenge. This review will give an update of current strategies for SCD risk stratification in HF.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unexpected death condition and occurs with unknown causes or cardiac condition. The SCD incidence at young age is a rare condition but when this condition happens it become traumatic event for both family and community. Incidence rate of death on 1-35 years old is around 0.8-2.8/100.000 each year. This number also varies according to age and sex. Death incidence on 1-4 years old is more common than on 5-10 years old group. This number is increasing after 15 years old, where age of 31-35 years has 10 fold risk of SCD compared to 1-10 years old group. Ratio of SCD in men and woman are 2: 1. Early detection of underlying heart disease is the most important action of preventio. If young people are known to have a risk of SCD, the lifestyle changing and appropriate medical therapy, including implantation of implantable cardioverter defibrillator, according to risk stratification must be done.

Sudden cardiac death is one of the leading causes of death in the western industrial nations. Most people are affected by coronary heart disease (coronary heart disease, CHD) or heart muscle (cardiomyopathy). These can lead to life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. If the heartbeat is too slow due to impulse or conduction disturbances, cardiac pacemakers will be implanted. High-frequency and life-threatening arrhythmias of the ventricles (ventricular tachycardia, flutter or fibrillation) cannot be treated with a pacemaker. In such cases, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is used, which additionally also provides all functions of a pacemaker. The implantation of a defibrillator is appropriate if a high risk of malignant arrhythmias has been established (primary prevention). If these life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias have occurred before and are not caused by a treatable (reversible) cause, ICD implantation will be used for secondary prevention. The device can stop these life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias by delivering a shock or rapid impulse delivery (antitachycardic pacing) to prevent sudden cardiac death. Another area of application for ICD therapy is advanced heart failure (heart failure), in which both main chambers and / or different wall sections of the left ventricle no longer work synchronously. This form of cardiac insufficiency can be treated by electrical stimulation (cardiac resynchronization therapy, CRT). Since the affected patients are also at increased risk for sudden cardiac death, combination devices are usually implanted, which combine heart failure treatment by resynchronization therapy and the prevention of sudden cardiac death by life-threatening arrhythmia of the heart chambers (CRT-D device). An ICD is implanted subcutaneously or under the pectoral muscle in the area of the left collarbone. Like pacemaker implantation, ICD implantation is a routine, low-complication procedure today.
