Abstract

Background: The incidence of sinus node dysfunction (SND) increases with age. Likewise, the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) has increased from year to year in Indonesia. When doctors are faced SND patients with CAD, it can be confusing in determining initial treatment options.Objective: This study aimed to describe the diagnosis and management of SND in CAD patient.Case Presentation: We will discuss a 75 years old male who had schedule to management of bradycardia symptomatic related to SND. Five month before admission, he had acute coronary syndrome, and had 2 DES implantation at left main (LM) to proximal left anterior descendent (LAD) artery and mid LAD. Two month after PCI he felt near syncope with bradycardia. Evaluation with ambulatory EKG was performed with result of SND, and correction of reversible cause related to SND already done. Eventually, symptom still exist and PPM insertion was decided to perform.Conclusion: Patients with SND and CAD have a higher risk of complications and death. Correction of reversible factors, one of which is CAD, can be done as an initial step in the treatment of SND. When symptomatic signs still appear after correction of reversible causes, PPM implantation is the modality of choice in management.

Abstract

Background:The prognostic usefulness of abnormal heart rate recovery (HRR) as a predictor of death has been discovered. Abnormal HRR results from inadequate vagal activation after exercise. The association between HRR and angiography in CAD (coronary artery disease) has been studied, however the conclusions are still being contested due to a lack of data. The purpose of this study is to see if HRR after an EST (exercise stress test) may predict the severity of syntax values in individuals with stable CAD at Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang (RSSA). Methods:This study is an analytic observational study with a retrospective cross sectional design. It was held in Saful anwar, Malang Hospital during January 2017–December 2019, including 366 patients. All patients underwent exercise stress test for CAD screening and coroner angiography. Those were divided into two groups, which included syntax score  < 23 (n=148) and syntax score ≥ 23 (n= 218). Result: Chi-square analysis was used to analyze the relationship correlation between HRR1, HRR2 and Syntax Score, and was used to compared between HRR1 (heart rate recovery first minutes), HRR2 (heart rate recovery second minute) and Syntax Score group. The confounding factor was adjusted with multivariate logistic regression analysis and AUC curve. There was a significant negatif correlation between abnormal HRR1 and HRR2 after exercise and Syntax score, with strong correlation (HRR1 ; OR = -2.11, p = 0.00 AUC :90,8%, HRR2 ; OR = -1,6, p = 0,48, AUC : 70,4%).  Conclusion: Abnormal first and second minutes of HRR after exercise stress test in stable CAD patient have a higher incidence of high Syntax Score (>1) than stable CAD patient with normal HRR. Keywords: Coronary artery disease (CAD), Heart rate recovery (HRR), Syntax.

Abstract

Background: Chronic total coronary occlusion (CTOs) is associated with an increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes. The benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in CTO are still being debated due to the limited data available. This study aims to determine the relationship between the success of PCI in CTOs and the reduction of major cardiovascular events compared to those who failed or did not perform revascularization in patients with chronic coronary total occlusion in RSUD by Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. Methods:This study is an analytic observational study with a retrospective cohort design. Of a total of 2165 patients who underwent angiography at Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang, for the period August 2017–September 2020, consecutively, 578 patients with lesions of at least one CTO were found. There were 68 patients who were excluded, so 510 patients were analyzed in this study. They were divided into two groups, the CTO group that was successfully revascularized with PCI (n = 141) and the group that was not revascularized (n = 369). The outcome of this study was major cardiovascular events (MACE), which included cardiac mortality , all cause mortality, and rehospitalization events. Result: Patients with CTO who were not revascularized compared to those with revascularized CTO had a higher history of heart failure, involvement of LM disease, multivessel disease, and three vessel disease (41.2% vs 18.4%, p = 0.041; 16.5% vs 1.8%, p < 0.001; 69.4% vs 22.7%, p < 0.001; 56.5% vs 14.1%, p < 0.001) with a lower mean LVEF (0.49 ± 0.06 vs 0.51 ± 0.07, p=0.045) and older age (60±9 vs 57±8 years ; p=0.007).. At a 12-month follow-up, in the CTO group that was successfully revascularized by PCI, there was a better prognosis than the non-revascularized CTO group in terms of major cardiovascular events (19.9% vs 33.1% Plog-rank = 0.002). These results were consistent for all-cause mortality (5.5% vs 20.6%, Plog-rank =0.027), cardiac mortality (3.7% vs 20.6%, Plog-rank < 0.001) and rehospitalization events. (7.5% vs 32.2%, Plog-rank = 0.001). Conclusion: Successful revascularization of CTO by PCI may provide clinical benefits in patients with CTO in association with major cardiovascular events.

Abstract

Indonesia is a developing country with a large number of populations. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious public health concern in Indonesia because of its high burden. Moreover, the high-risk CVD patients were under treatment. Optimal CVD prevention can be the solution to this issue. In this paper, we are talking mainly about the role of massive CVD risk factor screening, precise risk stratification, aggressive guideline-directed treatment, and community-based programs in reducing the CVD burden.

Abstract

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have a risk of postoperative complications that result in prolonged hospitalization and even death. Interventions in the form of phase I cardiac rehabilitation are needed to help speed up the postoperative recovery process and prevent complications after CABG. Although a lot of research has been carried out, it is necessary to conduct further studies of research articles regarding interventions that can be carried out in cardiac rehabilitation programs that are safe and easy to perform in postoperative CABG patients. The purpose of this literature review was to examine safe and effective interventions in phase I cardiac rehabilitation in patients undergoing CABG. The implementation of phase I cardiac rehabilitation in patients undergoing CABG started from the preoperative phase and continued postoperatively until the patient was discharged. Phase I cardiac rehabilitation interventions, both pre and postoperative, consist of education and counselling, physical exercise, breathing exercises, effective coughing exercises, inspiratory muscle training, and chest physiotherapy. The results of this literature review can be used as a basis for determining standard operating procedures for the implementation of phase I cardiac rehabilitation for hospitals that provide CABG services.

Abstract

BackgroundCoarctation of the abdominal aorta (AoA) is a very uncommon condition, accounting for 0.5-2 percent of all aortic stenosis cases. We present an 11-year-old child who has been diagnosed with abdominal aorta coarctation. Case IllustrationAn 11-years old boy complained about dizziness since 1.5 years ago with hypertension. He underwent hypertension treatment for 1.5 years with a pediatrician but there is no improvement in his blood pressure. His current blood pressure was 150/95 mmHg in upper extremities and 120/80 mmHg in lower extremities with three antihypertensives drugs. We found bruit in the abdomen and decreases pulse in lower extremities. An echocardiogram shows no congenital defect. The first was on suspicion of renal stenosis and underwent ultrasonography of the abdomen but was not conclusive. Computed Tomography Angiographic (CTA) showed severe stenosis in the abdominal aorta on level thoracal 11-12. Aortogram shows significant stenosis in the abdominal aorta with a pressure gradient was 47 mmHg. He underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with BMS self-stent implantation. At two months of follow up his blood pressure target was achieved with a minimal dose of oral antihypertensive drugs DiscussionHow to diagnose coarctation of the abdominal aorta is still challenging and often underdiagnosed. Patients with young age and persistent hypertension should be more careful in diagnosis. A  bruit in the abdomen with a weak pulse in the lower extremity raises suspicion of Coarctation of the Abdominal Aorta. An angioplasty procedure, either with or without a stent or a surgery might be used as the primary therapy.

Abstract

Background: The likelihood of a poor clinical outcome is significantly increased in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Mechanical ventilation was necessary for 23% of ADHF patients receiving treatment. The simple parameters of blood pressure and heart rate have good accuracy and repeatability. The development of the Acute Hemodynamic Index allowed for the calculation of pulse pressure and heart rate to be used as a basis for predicting intrahospital mortality.Methods: The medical records of patients who received care at CVCU RSSA were used in this retrospective, single-center study. ROC analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to evaluate the prognostic performance of AHI. Statistical significance was determined by the P value of 0.05 or lower.Results: 252 patients with heart failure and low ejection fraction had their data analyzed. Hospital mortality is 82 percent. The cut-off was 4.19 mmHg/bpm, which was the AHI value. 68.8% of patients with fatal illnesses had low AHIs ( 4.19 mmHgbpm). AHI > 4.19 mmHgbpm patients have a 9-fold increased risk of dying in the hospital than patients with low AHI. AUC: 0.825 [0.743-0.907]; sensitivity: 0.814; specificity: 0.689; AUC: 0.825 [0.743-0.907; p = 0.000]; demonstrate the high predictive power of AHI.Conclusion: AHI has a strong degree of association with the likelihood of dying in the hospital from acute decompensated heart failure.

Abstract

Introduction. Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) associated with the surgical revascularization (CABG) occurs in about 3–5% of patients. Myocardial necrosis and ischaemia after CABG are caused by direct cardiac trauma from manipulation, reperfusion injury, incomplete revascularization, hypotension, bleeding, ventricular arrhythmia, acute graft closure, inadequate perioperative myocardial protection and others.Case report. The introduced case report explains the rupture of right ventricle result in periprocedural myocardial infarction following the surgical myocardial revascularization. 62-year-old man has undergone the coronary bypass surgery with arterial graft of left mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) and savenous graft to left circumflex coronary artery (LCx). Early in the post-surgery period a perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) developed, with laboratory correlation of cardio-specific enzymes elevation and ECG changes in terms of ischaemia in the diaphragmatic region. Echocardiography showed akinesia of the apex, apical septal and apical inferior segments accompanied by the decrease in ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle.Conclusion. Early detection of PMI may therefore, prompt institution of therapeutic measures to relieve the ischaemia and decrease the incidence and the size of PMIKey words: Perioperative Myocardial Infarction, CABG

Abstract

Background: Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) storm or electrical storm (ES) is defined as cardiac electrical instability and refers to the occurrence of three or more ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT and or ventricular fibrillation (VF)) in a 24-hour period, or VT recurring soon (within five minutes) after termination of another VT episode, or sustained or no sustained VT with total ectopic beats greater than sinus beats in a 24-hour period. The frequency of VT storms varies on population. When ICDs are implanted for primary prevention (4 percent), it is lower than when they are implanted for secondary prevention (20 percent).Case Summary: We presented patient with Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) storm. A 63-year old woman was admitted to emergency room with chief complaint frequent episodes of palpitation. She was found to have monomorphic VT with unstable hemodynamic. Then she got cardioversion 100 Joule, continued with lidocaine drip and VT reverted to sinus rhythm. Patient admitted to cardiovascular care unit, but she had VT refractory. She got complete revascularization for coronary artery before, but the episodic of VT still occurred with cardiogenic shock (CS) and pulmonary edema. She got cardioversion, amiodarone iv and inotropes, then observed this patient at CVCU. After the condition stable, this patient was discharged and planned for ICD insertion at the next admission.Discussion: We discuss the various available treatment options for VT storm and practical challenges faced in management of hemodynamically unstable VT storm. Initial management involves identifying and correcting the underlying ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or other inciting factors.

Abstract

Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) continues to be the leading cause of hospitalization and has a poor prognosis. Loop diuretic had been long used as cornerstone therapy for congestion and volume overload. However, several factors including diuretic resistance and declining renal function reduced the loop diuretic's effectiveness, necessitating a different treatment strategy. In ADHF, ultrafiltration (UF) could be a promising method to volume management. UF appears to be more effective at removing fluid than diuretics, according to several studies, with better quality of life and lower rehospitalization. This review highlights the current state of knowledge regarding the use of diuretics and UF in ADHF patients, as well as the challenges and questions raised associated with each approach.
