Abstract

Cardiovascular disease contributes to 48% of deaths in the world. A cohort study at the Harapan Kita National Heart Center and 5 Indonesia hospitals in 2006 showed that the death rate due to heart disease in hospitals was around 6-12%. Rehospitalization rate reached 29% and the all-out expense of INA-CBG claimed for inpatient was Rp 42.4 trillion. The major problem causing rehospitalization was poor compliance to medication in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Education to improve compliance has been known not only reduced rehospitalization rate but also improve quality of life. In these review the author discussed the efficacy of community based cardiac rehabilitation for rehospitalisation reduction dan quality of life improvement.

Abstract

Background : Recently, studies have concerned on the use of xanthones for treating patients with cardiovascular diseases. In our country, xanthones were found in Garcinia Mangostana Linn.Objectives : To assess the effect of Garcinia Mangostana Linn Extract (GMLE) to the levels of Circulating Endothelial Cells (CEC) and Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) in patients with high framingham score.Methods : A prospective cohort study was conducted from November 2018 to January 2019. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group was given 2520 mg/day of GMLE for 90 days and the second group was given placebo. In sub group analyses, patients were divided based on previous medication, including statin, statin and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), statin and oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD), and statin and ACEI or ARB and OAD. The outcome measures were CEC and EPC levels, measured at baseline and after 90 days of treatment. We used multiple linear regression to analyze the correlation and effect estimates.Results: A total of 72 patients was included in our study. All of the patients baseline characteristics were distributed homogeneously (p>0.05). Our findings confirmed that GMLE administration was associated with decreased CEC level compared to placebo. On other hands, increased EPC level compared to placebo was observed after GMLE administration. In sub-group analyses, our study found that the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and OAD were associated with decreased level of CEC compared to placebo, with the odd ratios were 0.12 and 0.18, respectively. Conversely, increased level of EPC was observed in subjects receiving the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and the combination of GMLE with statin.Conclusion: Administration of GMLE as adjuvant therapy is associated with the improvement of CEC and EPC levels in patients with high framingham scores.

Abstract

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIEDs) had been recommended as an integral part of heart failure management. Despite clear benefits on CIEDs itself, the rate of therapy penetration in Indonesia is still very low. Many contributing factors had been identified, they are lack of physician awareness, lack of referral, and mismatch between national insurance reimbursement and the cost of therapy. We focussed on talking about selective patient selection as one of the most feasible solutions to this problem.

Abstract

Background : Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) should be titrated to the optimal dose for adequate inhibition of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system (RAAS). The up-titration of ACEI to the optimal doses during in-hospital treatment is challenging.Objectives : This study aimed to investigate whether the use of optimal dose of ACEI during in-hospital treatment could give more benefit to the outcome of heart failure (HF) patients.Methods : We involved 171 HF patients in this prospective cohort study. 29 and 142 HF patients were treated with optimal dose and suboptimal dose of ACEI during in-hospital treatment, respectively. The primary endpoint was in-hospital and 30 days post-discharge mortality. The secondary endpoint was 30 days post-discharge rehospitalization due to worsening of HF.Results: Only 17% of HF patients treated with optimal dose of ACEI during in-hospital treatment. In-hospital mortality in optimal dose of ACEI group was lower than in suboptimal dose of ACEI group (0% vs. 19.7%; p = 0.009). The 30 days post-discharge mortality (0% vs 2.7%; p = 0.375) and rehospitalization (6.9% vs 16.7%; p = 0.184) between both groups were not significantly different.Conclusion: The use of optimal dose of ACEI during in-hospital treatment reduced in-hospital mortality in HF patients.

Abstract

The diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) remains challenging. Detailed echocardiography is a sensitive tool for identifying structural and functional when ARVC is suspected. A thorough assessment of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is required to further establish the diagnosis. This case illustration aimed to broaden the awareness of right ventricular cardiomyopathy among physicians, establishing the appropriate diagnostic approaches, and sensible use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators may help to prevent unnecessary deaths.

Abstract

More than two decades after the introduction of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) into clinical practice, respond to highly effective treatments for refractory drug heart failure (HF) approximately one-third of candidates persist to fail. This article will discuss indications for initiating a CRT, the definition of a response to a CRT, steps in response to a CRT, predictors of a CRT response, clinical judgment of patients who do not respond to CRTs, and elimination for possible reversible non-response causes. Here we have reviewed non-response CRTs in many ways. In short, multidisciplinary efforts are needed to overcome them because of the multifactorial causes of non-response (NR). So far, several factors has slowed the progress, such as limitations of NR consensus definitions and technology for therapeutic delivery.Keywords: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy, Responder, Non-responder

Abstract

Background : Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) contributed to a large number of proportion amoung cardiovascular problems in developing county, especially Indonesia. Secondary prophylaxis method using intramuscular injection of Benzathin Penicillin-G (BPG) has been known as the most effective strategy in the prevention of RHD. However, whether this prevention method also resulting in prevention of disease severity in Indonesian patients remained to be examined.Objectives : This study aimed to assess the difference of rheumatic valve severity in Indonesian pediatric patients between adequate and poor adherence to secondary prophylaxis by using intramuscular BPG injection.Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted at Pediatric Cardiology Department of Saiful Anwar General Hospital from November 2018 to June 2019. Patients with documented history of RHD were included. Frequency of intramuscular BPG injection during the last one year was recorded. Adherence was measured using the proportion of days covered (PDC) and adequate adherence was defined as PDC ≥0.90. The severity of RHD was assessed based on the severity of the mitral and / or aortic valve using echocardiography. Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify characteristics associated with rheumatic valve severity.Results : A significant difference of rheumatic mitral and/or aortic valve severity was observed between adequate adherence compared to poor adherence group (p = 0.016). Rheumatic mitral and/or aortic valve were found to be more severe in patients who has one or more episode of ARF recurrence (p = 0.003). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that adherence to secondary prophylaxis within the last 1 year has the strongest influence on the severity of rheumatic mitral and/or aortic valve (p = 0.049; OR 7.20).Conclusion : The adherence to secondary prophylaxis has the strongest related the rheumatic valve severity compared to other factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Device entrapment during PCI is an uncommon complication with incidence of less than 1%. Percutaneous retrieval should be favored as the treatment of choice for this condition.Case Illustration: A 61-year-old patient came for an elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure. She suffered from chest pain while doing moderate activities for 1 month. Angiography showed a diffuse lesion with maximum stenosis 90% in the proximal LAD, stenosis 75% in the proximal of Left Circumflex Artery (LCx), and diffuse lesions in the proximal and mid of the Right Coronary Artery (RCA). We decided to perform PCI in the LAD. A transfemoral coronary intervention was performed using a Judkins Left 3.5 (7F) guiding catheter to engage the LAD. A Guidewire ( Run-through NS Floppy) was advanced to the distal LAD. Balloon angioplasty was performed with a 2.75 x 15 mm Fluydo balloon in the proximal LAD at 16 bars, but the balloon was entrapped and while withdrawing the balloon, it accidentally ruptured in the LAD artery with the remaining segment inside the guiding catheter. A second Run-through NS Floppy Guidewire was inserted across the ruptured balloon and a 2.5 x 20 mm Fluydo Balloon was passed on the second wire and was inflated at 16 atm pressure, inside the guiding catheter, trapping the ruptured balloon. The ruptured balloon was successfully removed, by withdrawing the whole system, including the guiding catheter and the wire. Finally, we re-engaged the LAD with the same guiding catheter, passed the wire, and post dilated the stent on the LAD to achieve a good result.Conclusion: Percutaneous retrieval using trapping technique could represent a safe and effective technique for ruptured and entrapment of a balloon-catheter in a coronary artery.

Abstract

IntroductionCongestion is the major problem in Acute Heart Failure (AHF) patients. Despite improving clinical congestion, we should assess and treat the hemodynamic congestion to decrease the progression of the disease and improve outcome of AHF patients. This study assess the ability of congestion index, a simple echocardiography parameter using ePCWP + eRAP to predict short-term clinical outcomes of AHF patients compare with NT-proBNP.Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted at Saiful Anwar General Hospital Malang from January 2108 to July 2019. AHF patients treated according to the 2016 ESC guidelines for AHF. Hemodynamic congestion was defined if congestion index (ePCWP+eRAP) at hospital discharge ≥ 30 mmHg.NT-proBNP level, ePCWP and eRAP were measured at 0-12 hours hospital admisssion and at hospital discharge. Clinical follow-up over a period of 30 days, AHF rehospitalization and mortality due to cardiovascular was registered. ResultsThis was a prospective study of 62 patients hospitalized with AHF. All patients were NYHA functional class IV. AHF mortality and rehospitalization rates in this study were 12.9% and 20.9%, respectively. Patient with congestion index ≥30 mmHg showed a higher 30 day rehospitalization [10 [66.7%] vs 3 [6.4%]; P =0.000; CI 95% OR 7.53(3.11-18.2)] and cardiovascular mortality [7 [46.7%] vs 1 [2.1%] P=0,000; CI 95% OR 5.90(2.95-11.78)]. NT-proBNP level at hospital discharge (cut off 5853 pg/mL; sensitivity 92%; specificity 91%; AUC 0.945; P = 0.000) was better than congestion index (cut off 30 mmHg; sensitivity 92.9%; specificity 91.7%; AUC 0.914; P = 0.000) in predicting AHF rehospitalization. For predicting mortality, NT-proBNP level at hospital discharge (cut off 8733 pg/mL; sensitivity 87.5%; specificity 88.9%; AUC 0.940; P = 0.000) were better than congestion index (cut off 31 mmHg; sensitivity 87.5%; specificity 81.5%; AUC 0.890; P = 0.000). ConclusionCongestion index could predict AHF rehospitalization and mortality within 30 days in patients with AHF.

Abstract

Background : Garcinia mangostana L. has been extensively used for years as antioxidant and anti-inflammation. However, its role in the context of endothelial disease was lacking.Objectives : To assess the effect of add-on G. mangostana L. extracts on endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes subjects with high-risk Framingham score, compared to placebo.Methods : This was a prospective cohort study conducted in type 2 diabetes subjects with high-risk Framingham score. Subjects were randomized into two groups. The first group received 2,520 mg/day of G. mangostana L. extract. The second group was given a placebo for 90 days. The outcome measure of our study was the levels of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC), circulating endothelial cell (CEC), nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and fasting blood glucose. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the correlation and effect estimate.Results: A total of 49 patients were included in our study. Of those, elevated levels of EPC and SOD were observed in treatment group compared to placebo. On the other hand, the level of CEC, IL-1, Il-6, NO, MDA, TNF-α, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c was found significantly lower than placebo.Conclusion: Garcinia mangostana L. extract is associated with an increased levels of EPC and SOD, and it is also correlated with a decreased levels of CEC, IL-1, Il-6, NO, MDA, TNF-α, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c.
