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: 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

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

Background  Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a heritable arrhythmia that is clinically characterized by spontaneous coved ST segment elevation and a negative T wave in the right precordial lead. Some psychotropic medications, anesthetics, cocaine, excessive alcohol consumption, and fever have been identified as potential causes of VF and SCA in BrS. Case Illustration A 35-year-old man was hospitalized after experiencing unexplained syncope. It was felt 3 times within an hour and was preceded by lightheadedness, nausea, and vomiting. He did not experience palpitations, chest pain, or shortness of breath prior to the syncope. Prior to syncope, he had no history of fever, dehydration, drinking, or taking any medications. There was no family member died suddenly because of heart disease. The physical examination, CXR, laboratorium, and echocardiography were all within the normal range, but the electrocardiogram showed a coved ST segment elevation with an inverted T wave at V1-V2, as well as a saddle back ECG pattern two weeks later with a J point of 2 millimeters at V2. The combination of symptoms and ECG findings led to the BrS diagnosis. He underwent ICD implantation at RSUD Dr Saiful Anwar Malang for secondary prevention. After several months of ICD check-ups, there were no VT/VF events or ICD shock therapy. Conclusion A change in the ecg of the brugada pattern from type 2 to 1 is often accompanied by known ethiologies. But an unprovoked conversion of the BrS type is possible in rare cases.

Abstract

Contrast associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) had been the main focus along the development of percutaneous invasive procedure. Contrast associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) increase risk of dead among hospitalized patient. The use of iodine based contrast along percutaneous procedure potentially induce contrast associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). Many potential hazardous effect may effect individual with CA-AKI such as myocardial re-infarction, stent thrombosis, dead, and major adverse cardiac event (MACE). Many strategies had been developed to prevent and treat CA-AKI such as risk stratification, hydration with normal saline, avoid nephrotoxic drug, use of statin, and N-acetilcystein but when all strategies failed, hemodialysis prophylaxis and renal replacement therapy had potential benefit in CA-AKI.

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

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in several developing countries, and many of these deaths occur before reaching the hospital due to cardiac arrest. Most patients who return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and are brought to the hospital experience severe neurological damage during cardiac arrest, and this damage is the cause of in-hospital mortality. Improvements in survival and neurologic improvement of patients with CA have focused on two main therapy areas. The first area is improved education and skills of medical and paramedical personnel to improve perfusion post CA. The second area is a greater emphasis on post-resuscitation care which includes optimizing oxygenation and ventilation, avoiding hypotension, treating causes of CA such as acute coronary ischemia, and initiating hypothermia therapy if necessary, as in the 2020 guidelines and recommendations from the American Heart Association (AHA), International Liaison Committee of Resuscitation, and European Resuscitation Council covering the entire spectrum of post-resuscitation care.  The AHA guidelines 2020 recommend optimizing hypothermia therapy for 24 hours with a target temperature between 320C - 360C in ROSC patients to improve clinical outcomes of neurological status after cardiac arrest. This is contrast to the study of Martinell et al in their research which concluded that there was no significant difference in survival rates within 30 days after cardiac arrest in patients who received either hypothermia therapy or those who did not. Hypothermia therapy, which is currently part of the post-resuscitation care recommendations, has varied variables and remains controversial in its implementation. Based on this, this referent will discuss the effects of hypothermia therapy on post-cardiac arrest patients, the stages, and the practical aspects of implementing hypothermia therapy.

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

Abstract

Background: Torsade de pointes (TdP) and ventricular fibrillation can cause rapid mortality. The etiological cause the ventricular arrhythmia must be detected and treated early, especially in the ER. Objective: We report a patient with severe hypokalemia and TdP following the administration of Amiodarone in QT-interval prolongation Case Report: A 32-year-old girl with diarrhea and vomiting for two days arrived to the ED with a seizure with her hand flexed and leg straight down. Her family reported she didn't take prescriptions regularly. She was GCS 224, hemodynamically stable, typical ECG showed extended QTc and her head CT was normal. During observation at the ED, she had seizure and the monitor revealed a Torsade de Pointes (TdP) ) with a pulse rate of 160-180 bpm. She was given Amiodarone and peroral Bisoprolol 5 mg. She returned to sinus rhythm with PVC bigeminy and was admitted to the ICU Laboratory data showed hypokalemia (1.9) improved (2.9) after treatment. Eight hours later, she experienced a TdP without pulse palpability for less than 1 minute, then Ventricular Fibrillation, began CPR, and the doctor in charge gave her a defibrillation operation once. She returned with sinus tachycardia 110-130 bpm. The next day, she was having recurring TdP episodes without a pulse. The doctor conducted CPR and defibrillation and returned with 120-130 bpm sinus tachycardia. The patient consulted a cardiologist and was prescribed lidocaine 1 mg/hour and continued Bisoprolol 5 mg for long QT problem. Observation The seizure ended 12 hours later, the patient was alert, GCS 456, and the ECG showed sinus rhythm with extended QTc. Over the days before discharge, electrocardiography demonstrated reduced QT-interval prolongation. Conclusion: Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia in a young female can be caused by QT-interval prolongation. It must be diagnosed and treated immediately to avoid mortality.

Abstract

Patients in condition of acute kidney injury (AKI) and critically ill often benefit from renal replacement therapy (RRT). Patient with hemodynamically unstable in cardiac intensive care, such as those with congestive heart failure, acute myocardial dysfunction, or excessive hemodilution during cardiac surgery, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is considered to be the suitable renal replacement therapy modality. This paper discusses indications, techniques, and CRRT in cardiac critical care.
