Abstract

Background: Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC) is an indicator of atherosclerosis and could be used as a reliable noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease. The Jakarta Cardiovascular Assessment (JAKVAS) is a modified Framingham risk score based on the Indonesian population targeted for developing countries. This study was aimed todetermine the correlation between Jakarta Cardiovascular Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Score in High-Risk Women in Surabaya, Indonesia, in 2020-2021. Method: This study was a retrospective study looking for a correlation between JAKVAS and CAC, with data taken from the medical records of Siloam Hospital Surabaya from 2020-2021. Result: The association between JAKVAS and CAC risk stratification was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Theabsence of CAC is related to a lower risk of cardiovascular events (JAKVAS) than CAC > 0 in high-risk women.

Abstract

Background: Acute stent thrombosis is the complete occlusion of a coronary artery of the previously implanted stent. This unusual complication occurs in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), development of myocardial ischemia, and poor prognosis for the patient. After PCI, acute stent thrombosiscan occur within 0-24 hours and cause the symptoms like acute coronary syndrome. Incidents of stent thrombosis are about 0.6% to 3.4% for Drug Eluting Stent (DES) implantation, depending on the lesion and patient factors. The etiology of acute stent thrombosis is multifactorial, and early detectioncan reduce the mortality rate.Case Illustration: A 56 yo male visited Rumah Sakit Saiful Anwar Malang with stable angina pectoris (Class III symptoms with medical therapy) planned for elective cardiac catheterization with routine medical treatment. During PCI, he complained the chest pain, and from cine angiography evaluation showed no flow at the diagonal branch because of the acute thrombosis. Then got thrombosuction and got a white thrombus. After the PCI procedure, he got fibrinolytic with streptokinase 1.5 million units for 60 minutes. He was transferred to CVCU for observation and discharged after five days.Conclusion: Acute stent thrombosis is a severe complication during and after PCI because it is related to high mortality. The mechanisms by which ST arises are complex and multifactorial and must be early detection.

Abstract

BackgroundPulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) is an important subgroup that accounts for approximately 11% of all patients with PAH. Physical limitations are one of the main symptoms of hemodynamic changes in patients with PH. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of physical exercise therapy for 12 weeks as an additional therapy with PDE-5 inhibitors on the functional capacity of patients with Congenital Heart Disease accompanied by Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (CHD – PH). MethodThis research was an analytic experimental study with a prospective cohort research method. This study used data sources obtained from medical records to adjust subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, initial cardiac training test examination data was carried out at IPJT in patients selected as subjects. The patient's clinical outcomes were followed in the next 12 weeks. ResultThis research was conducted on 16 samples divided into two groups, namely the control and study groups. The evaluation after 12 weeks found that there was an increase in mileage as measured through the 6MWT submaximal test and a better duration of physical activity in the study group tested through the Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT). This is consistent with the effect of physical exercise, which suppresses systemic inflammation and causes vasodilation, thereby increasing oxygen delivery to the tissues. This causes more optimal aerobic metabolism and reduces lactate production. So that the patient did not quickly feel tired during activities. However, there was no significant increase in the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test. This could be due to the relatively short training duration of 12 weeks. Conclusion A positive correlation exists between physical exercise and increased functional capacity of patients with CHD who were evaluated using 6MWT and ESWT.

Abstract

Background: Acute myocardial infarction is one of the emerging cardiovascular events worldwide. Infarcts of the inferior wall were present between one-third and half of the patients with RV involvement. The worse outcome was strongly associated with cardiogenic shock, and 7% of cases were caused by RV failure.Objective: This study aimed to describe the diagnosis and management of cardiogenic shock in STEMICase presentation: A male in his 40s was brought to our hospital 12 hours after the onset of persistent epigastric pain. He had a history of hypertension and a family history of diabetes Mellitus. Diagnostic procedures included blood tests, ECG, X-rays, coronary angiogram, and echocardiography. He underwent PCI to implant DES in his proximal RCA, which had 100% occlusion. The patient was admitted to the intensive cardiovascular care unit for 30 hours and died due to various complications.Conclusion: Current case was very complicated and seriously life-threatening. After acute myocardial infarction, Important problems kept coming up one after the other, and they all affected each other. Patients with cardiogenic shock must be found quickly and treated quickly and aggressively.

Abstract

Background: Green tea and green coffee are natural ingredients that improve cholesterol levels. Combining the two in experimental animal studies provides more significant benefits when compared to single administration in reducing cholesterol levels.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of decaffeinated green tea and green coffee as adjuvant treatments in reducing blood cholesterol levels.Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 90 metabolic syndrome patients determined according to the IDF criteria for Asian people aged 50–70. All subjects received atorvastatin 20 mg and were divided into three groups. Participants in Group 1 received decaffeinated green tea and green coffee 2.5 grams twice daily, Group 2 received 5 grams daily, and Group 3 received a placebo. The total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triglyceride levels were measured at the beginning and the end of the study.Results: At 90 days, after administration of the extract of decaffeinated green tea and green coffee, we found that the concentration of total cholesterol in Group 1 and Group 2 was significantly reduced compared to the placebo (-50 ± 6.1 vs. -62.8 ± 5.9 vs. -22.5 ± 5.8 mg/dL; p= <0.05). But there was no significant difference in reduction of total cholesterol levels between the first and second groups. The other parameters also decreased, but not significantly compared to the placebo group.Conclusion: Administration of a combination of decaffeinated green tea extract and green coffee as an adjunctive therapy can reduce the average total  cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels more than placebo, but only total cholesterol has a significant difference compared to other cholesterol  components.

Abstract

Background: Recent studies have shown that arterial stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, with CAVI (Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index) as a non-invasive arterial stiffness testing method indaily practice.Objective: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between smoking -as a risk factor for arterial stiffness- and CAVI values, as well as levels of IL-1β (Interleukin 1β) as a cytokine that plays a role in the pathophysiology of arterial stiffness.Methods: Eighty-four participants, including smokers and non-smokers without other cardiovascular risk factors, were included in the study. Demographic data, medical history, and smoking behavior were taken using a questionnaire, then IL-1β and CAVI levels were examinedResults: The mean level of IL-1β in smoking subjects was significantly higher (15.09 ± 0.48) than in non-smoking subjects (5.53 ± 0.79; p=0.001). CAVI values in smoking subjects were also significantly higher (8.0 ± 0.06) than in non-smoking subjects (6.9 ± 0.02; p=0.001). Further analysis showed a strong positive correlation between smoking and IL-1β levels (r=+0.776; p=0.001) and CAVI values (r=+0.759; p=0.001).Conclusion: This study shows that smoking significantly correlates with IL-1β levels and CAVI values. The greater number of cigarettes used per day and the longer duration of smoking, there was a positive correlation between IL-1β levels and arterial stiffness as measured by CAVI.

Abstract

Background: The role of inflammation in myocardial infarction and post-infarction MI remodeling has become a concern for the development of treatment in the last decade. Colchicine can prevent increased inflammation during acute injury.Objective: This study focused on the role of colchicine as an on-top medical treatment, hoping it can reduce mortality and short-term rehospitalization in patients with STEMI.Methods: 347 AMI patients (18-80 year old adults) who visited RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang, between February 2022 and January 2023, participated in this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlledexperiment. Patients were split into two groups and given either a placebo or  colchicine 0.5 mg daily for a month. Standard medical therapy was administered concurrently to both groups as an approachable guideline. The study endpoints were mortality and rehospitalization rates.Result: After one month of follow-up, there was a reduction in rehospitalization due to cardiovascular causes (2 [1.3%] vs. 4 [2.7%], HR 3.42 [1.36-8.56], p<0.05), which was significant in the treatment group compared to the control group. Also, there was a reduction in all-cause mortality, but not statistically significant (2 [1,3% v 3 [2,0%], HR 3,38 [0,53-7,48], p>0,05). In the treated group, there was also a lower non-cardiovascular rehospitalization rate compared to placebo, but not significant (4 [2.6%] vs. 7 [4.7], HR 0.42 [0.15-1.02], p<0.05).Conclusion: The administration of low-dose colchicine for one month has shown benefits in reducing rehospitalization in patients with STEMI who receive PCI therapy.

Abstract

Even in the absence of antecedent myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia seen in daily practice. There are several important predisposing factors for the initiationof AF, including growing older, being a man, being female, having high blood pressure, and having cardiac and noncardiac illnesses. Metabolic syndrome (MS) contributes to the progression of AF through its impact on the atrial substrate. MS involves metabolic risk factors that increase the likelihood of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance plays a significant role in MS pathophysiology, leading to glucose and lipid metabolism dysregulation, increased inflammation, and neurohormonal activation. These processes contribute to the development of hypertension, a major risk factor for AF. Atrial remodeling, including electrical and structural changes, is a common substrate for AF, and MS components further contribute to this remodeling.Hypertension, a key feature of MS, is associated with structural, contractile, and electrical remodeling in the atria, increasing the risk of AF. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, implicated in hypertension regulation, alsoinfluences the pathophysiology of AF through fibrosis, ion channel alterations, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Understanding the intricate interplay between MS and AF can provide insights into therapeutic strategies for managing these conditions and reducing cardiovascular risks.

Abstract

Background: Catheter entrapment and knotting are two problems that might arise during coronary angiography, regardless of the method used. It is not uncommon for the catheter shaft to become kinked during diagnostic or interventional procedures. Still, if the manipulation fails, an invasive retrieval method is usually necessary for cases with extensive catheter kinking.Case Illustration: We present two cases illustrating how different angiography approaches could lead to severe catheter kinking. Because of the significant tortuosity of the vasculature, even a gentle opposite rotation maneuver and the antegrade advancement of multiple guidewires failed to untwist the guide catheter. Once a twisted catheter has been identified via fluoroscopy, the twist can be eased by gently twisting the catheter in the opposite direction. It is not always easy. It could lead to using other interventional techniques such as snare, balloon, or surgical procedures. In our cases, we used a snare to snag the catheter's tip and untied the loop's knot. This prevented the need for unscheduled surgical intervention. We evaluated from angiography. There were no further complications. The patients were released from the hospital the following day.Conclusion: Although a kinked catheter could become entrapped, various approaches can be taken to deal with this difficulty and prevent the need for surgical intervention.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterised by the simultaneous occurrence of at least three out of fivecardio-metabolic disorders.1, 2 These problems consist of visceral obesity, hypertension, high blood glucose, hightriglyceride, and low HDL cholesterol levels.2 It is unclear to what extent communities with diverse ethnicbackgrounds differ in the contributing factors. Additionally, the risk of cardio-vascular disease (CVD) mortalitymay vary depending on the frequency of MetS and its components in various ethnic groups and nations.3 Inappropriately,information on the CVD mortality risk associated with MetS is still quite limited, especially in Asiancountries. The majority of investigations were limited to determining the prevalence of MetS and its contributingvariables among Asians. Due mostly to unhealthy lifestyle such as an imbalanced diet high in carbohydrate andsedentary habits, the prevalence of MetS has been rising along with urbanisation.4
