Abstract

Background : Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is defined as the failure of the heart to increase its heart rate along with activity and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The gold standard for CI is based on a treadmill test. However, up to now, there is no guideline to recommend whether CI could be concluded according to holter monitoring data.Objective : This study aimed to determine CI based on Holter monitoring, specifically using time-domain analysis of heart rate variability (HRV).Methods : This study used descriptive-analytic research with cross-sectional sampling. The population was patients that underwent treadmill and holter monitoring. The treadmill test was used as a gold standard of CI, and compare to holter monitoring using heart rate variability as a parameter. Data analysis used a comparative study (Independent T, Mann-Whitney, Chi-Square) and multivariate analysis logistic regression with a significance of p < 0,05.Results: The subjects of the study were 111 patients with male-dominant (59 men). Standard Deviation N-N interval (SDNN) and Standard Deviation of Average N-N Interval (SDANN) were found lower in the CI group compared to the normal one. Mean SDNN was 113,57 + 51,08 msec in CI group and 117,4 + 39,48 msec in normal group with p = 0.282. Mean SDANN was 94,77 (73,42-118,85) in CI and 104,16 (74,9–139) with p = 0.422. While the Proportion of RR interval with the difference > 50 ms (RR50) and Average of All N-N Intervals (AVNN) found to be higher in CI group, but not statistically significant (p = 0.681; p = 0.061 respectively). Other parameter extracted from holter result, delta HR showed significant correlation with CI (50.5 (43,25-61,5) vs. 56 (50-72) with p = 0.014).Conclusion: Time-domain HRV didn’t had a significant correlation with CI. However, delta HR from holter monitor could be used as a predictor of CI.

Abstract

We presented a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome. A 69-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of frequent episodes of palpitation. The diagnosis of WPW syndrome was established based on the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrophysiology (EP) study. We conducted the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the accessory pathway (AP). The challenging point of this case was the accessory pathway located just below to the bundle of His, which is related to the risk of complete atrioventricular (AV) block. In summary, we conclude that anatomical consideration, EP study, and the ablation strategy were important to improve the safety and success rate of RFA procedure.

Abstract

While the guidelines for the managements of heart diseases have been well-developed and updated periodically, they do not guarantee to reduce the number of heart disease morbidity and mortality. Since the holistic approach is not carefully applied, this morbidity rate may not be significantly reduced. The holistic approach to managing heart disease has broad aspects, but the most important aspect is regarding physician adherence to Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT). This paper aimed to discuss the physician adherence to GDMT, and its role in reducing morbidity and in-hospitalization in heart disease patients. Several large scale studies have revealed that good adherence to heart failure treatment guidelines among physicians improved not only quality of life but also resulted in a better prognosis. On other hands, because the main target of physicians adherence to GDMT is to achieve maximally tolerated dose, it is also important that the understanding when and how to add, switch, and titrate all therapies to maximally tolerated doses and ideally target doses is important to reduce the morbidity and mortality of heart disease patients. However, in some points, this principle might not be applied properly due to several limitations. In this case, physicians may have to consider the balance between patients preferences, healthcare resources, and the risk of adverse outcomes. In conclusion, it should be noted that physician adherence to GDMT has an important role to reduce morbidity and mortality of heart disease patients.

Abstract

Background : Community-based cardiac rehabilitation interventions have been known as an important aspect of secondary prevention. However, no data are available regarding the benefit of this program in Indonesian coronary artery disease (CAD) patients treated with optimal medication.Objectives : To assess the benefit of community-based cardiac rehabilitation on patient adherence to the drugs, quality of life (QoL) and MACE, in stable CAD.Methods : An observational prospective cohort study recruited the Malang community of cardiovascular care (MC3) members as an intervention group and Aisyah Islamic hospital patients in Malang, Indonesia, as a control, for a year follow up. Member of MC3 has regular aerobic exercise, education regarding the disease, the importance of the drugs, and its side effect in addition to standard education given in outpatient clinic setting as the control group members. A validated MMS-8, QOL (SF-36), and SAQ questionnaire were used to assess adherence to the drugs, QoL, and MACE of participants.Results: A total of 73 interventions and 73 control patients were enrolled for the study. Our findings showed that intervention patients were 2.04-fold associated with having a better physical function and 3.85-fold better compliance than control patients. The hospitalization rate also significantly lower in members of the intervention group (MC3). However, no significant difference observed among the two groups. Moreover, in the subgroup analysis, it shows that the intervention group who had participated for 2 years had the highest value of MMS-8 compared to the other groups with p < 0.005.Conclusion: Our study reveals that community based cardiac rehabilitation intervention have better adherence to medication and quality of life than patients control, and also could reduce rehospitalization in stable CAD patients.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a terminal stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), in the absence of intervention, may lead to lower extremity amputation or death. In cases where medical management is not effective or severe cases of PAD, endovascular and surgical interventions are indicated.2 Endovascular interventions become a first-line approach of CLI management and have advanced considerably within the past decade.1,3CASE DESCRIPTION: A 73-year old female with complain of left leg pain, accompanied with necrotic wound since 6 months ago. Duplex ultrasound showed no-flow from proximal to distal left superficial femoral artery (SFA). From CT-Angiography showed total occlusion from proximal left SFA to proximal poplitea artery about 7,2cm with collateral vessels. She was diagnosed with CLI left inferior extremity Fontaine IV Rutherford III. Angiography inferior extrimities was performed with total occlusion from proximal to distal left SFA with collateral vessels run to distal. We deployed a self-expanding stent with size 6mmx100mmx120cm at proximal-mid SFA. The patient showed improvement and was discharged after 5-days observationDISCUSSION: Patients with CLI have high risk of limb-loss without revascularization and high short term risk of cardiovascular events. Endovascular revascularization of femoro-popliteal occlusive offers lower initial risks than open surgery, with grade IIB-recommendation for lesion less than 25cm. Clinical success of endovascular stenting on CLI usually synonymous to limb salvageCONCLUSION:Favorable results can be achieved with endovascular stenting approach in patients with CLI, where close follow-up treatment afterwards can save limb loss.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular system was the second most common organ system affected by COVID-19. Cardiac injury has been reported in many COVID-19 cases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between cardiac injury with mortality in COVID-19 patients.Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis study. The relevant studies were identified through scientific electronic databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect up to August 2020. The study quality assessment was conducted using the GRADE approach. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the random-effects model.  Results: A total of 10 studies involving 2619 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The incidence of cardiac injury in COVID-19 patients was 28.5%. The all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with cardiac injury (52.8% vs. 13.1%; OR = 13.78; 95% CI = 7.22-26.32; I 2 = 88%; Z= 7.95; P < 0.00001).Conclusion: Cardiac injury is associated with higher mortality in COVID-19 patients. The cardiac injury should be considered as an important variable in the risk stratification for mortality in COVID-19.

Abstract

Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a potentially fatal disease that involves acute disruption of the aortic wall is. Several conditions such as intramural hematoma (IMH), aortic dissection (AD), penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU), as well as high mortality rates, are associated with this disease. Hypertension is an important risk factor, and patients often present with pain. AAS may be challenging to be evaluated, as it has a pre-test probability and several diagnostic tests. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is essential in managing AAS. The significance of prompt diagnosis and treatment of AAS is emphasized further by the current developments in imaging techniques and therapeutic interventions, which ultimately lead to raised vigilance of this disease. Management of AAS included initial medical therapy and definitive therapy. In A type AAS, surgical intervention is the definitive therapy, while type B is managed definitively by endovascular or medical treatment.Keyword: Diagnosis, management, acute aortic syndrome.

Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH)has been associated with hemolytic anemia. The prevalence of PH in hemolytic anemia is estimated to be as high as 10-40%, and reportsarepresenting poor prognosis in this subset of patients. PH associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is still rarely discussed,and there is paucity of literature regarding its precise pathophysiology and treatment. Here, we describe a case of PH associated with AIHA. A 34-year old woman came to our center with chief complaint of dyspnea on exertion. She was previously diagnosed with AIHA with positive direct Coomb's test. Physical examination, chest X-ray and echocardiography were consistent with pulmonary hypertension. The diagnosis of group 5 pulmonary hypertension was made. Although rare, the association between chronic hemolytic anemia and PH is evident, through several mechanisms involving nitric oxide inactivation, direct injury oftheendothelium, oxidative damage, thromboembolic formation, and left ventricular dysfunction. The management of PH in hemolytic disorders comprises treatment of underlying hemolytic disorder and PH-specific therapies. For PH specific therapy, to date, there are no therapies that have been fully studied for these specific patient population. Our patient was given bisoprolol, furosemide, amlodipine, spironolactone, candesartan, beraprost sodium and sildenafil. On follow up twomonths later, her functional status was improved. In summary, PH associated with AIHA develop via multifactorial and complex mechanisms. PH in AIHA could be detected with meticulous history taking, physical examination, chest X-ray and echocardiography, and treatment with vasodilating agents were shown to improve the PH.
