Abstract

Background : Myocardial blush grade (MBG) is an angiographic parameter to describe the adequacy of myocardial reperfusion. The correlation between myocardial blush and the clinical outcome following chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization is still unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the impact of myocardial blush after CTO recanalization on the clinical outcome of CCS patients.Design : A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients who underwent CTO recanalization were divided into two groups based on the myocardial blush. Patients were classified as having good myocardial blush (MBG category 2 to 3 or QUBE 0 to 10.2) and poor myocardial blush (MBG category 0 to 1 or QUBE 10.2 to 36.4). The outcome measured was the improvement of angina measured using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and the reduction of antianginal drug regimens.Results : The follow-up period was ranging from 2 to 24 months following the CTO recanalization procedure. The SAQ for physical limitation (83.86 ± 16.11 vs. 77.92 ± 3.44; p = 0.247), angina frequency (85.27 ± 17.44 vs. 74.76 ± 22.05; p = 0.105), and quality of life (73.24 ± 3.41 vs. 72.82 ± 3.56; p = 0.932) between the two groups was not significantly different. Good myocardial blush was not correlated with the reduction of antianginal drug regimens (10 (52.6) vs. 8 (40); p = 0.639).Conclusion : Myocardial blush post-CTO recanalization was not associated with the improvement of angina symptoms and the reduction of antianginal drug regimens among patients with CCS.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with right-sided heart failure and severe aortic stenosis (AS) have many clinical challenges to overcome fluid retention. Typical diuretic therapeutic approach can be recommended for the guidance of removing fluid overload in severe AS with right ventricular (RV) failure. The aim of this case review is to understand how to assess and manage  RHF and severe AS. CASE SUMMARY: A 65-year-old female with worsening bilateral leg swelling and she aware of shortness of breath for 3 months. Physical examination revealed a grade 3/6 ejection systolic murmur at the aortic area radiating to the neck, a grade 2/6 diastolic murmur at the pulmonic area, and  a grade 3/6 systolic murmur at the apex radiating to the axilla, increased jugular venous pressure, prominent bilateral leg swelling, and minimal rhonci at the base of the lungs. The chest X-ray showed worsening cardiomegaly in the last 3 months. Echocardiography revealed high gradient severe valvular AS, decreased systolic RV function, and other valvular dysfunctions including moderate mitral regurgitation, moderate pulmonary regurgitation, and mild tricuspid regurgitation. She was introduced high dose furosemide infusion. The average urine output production was 5 L/day and negative fluid balance was 3 L/day. Furosemide dose was adjusted daily according to urine output production and she was discharged after 6 days hospitalization. DISCUSSION:  This case report provides an example of RV failure in severe AS patient. Hemodynamic monitoring and typical approach of diuretic therapies should be needed in the management of fluid overload in severe AS. KEYWORDS: right-sided heart failure, severe aortic stenosis, diuretic.

Abstract

BackgroundST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening condition. Timely treatment with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a recommended management of STEMI. However, in STEMI condition accompanied by complications such as prolonged shock condition and become  Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), it is still a question of whether to be treated conservatively or invasively. If PPCI was an option, how to prevent the worsening outcome is still an issueCase IllustrationA 53 years old, woman, was referred from a private hospital with STEMI inferior Killip IV onset 5 hours with typical chest pain and azotemia with creatinine serum was 3.4 mg/dl; eGFR 15 ml/m/1.73m2. In the emergency room, she got hydration, inotropic, and planned for PPCI.  After the PPCI procedure, she was fallen into the altered mental status and then referred to our hospital. The GCS was E4V4M6; blood pressure was 118/62 mmHg (on dobutamine 10 mcg/kg BW/minutes and NE 0.3 mcg/kg BW/minutes), heart rate was 130 bpm, respiration rate was 20 times per minute, peripheral saturation was 98% on NRBM 10 liters per minute. The laboratorium result in our hospital showed a creatinine level was 1.6 mg/dl. We treated this patient for 9 days, with optimal medicamentosa and fluid therapy. There is an improvement in clinical presentation and physical examination on the last day of treatment, with urine output 1900 cc/24 hours, creatinin serum 0.8 mg/dl, and eGFR  84 ml/min/1.73m2.Conclusion Acute renal failure is a frequent complication in STEMI, leading to higher mortality, morbidity, and intrahospital complications. PPCI is a reperfusion strategy recommended by the guideline in the setting of myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. Proper management to prevent worsening of renal function in this condition is very important.    Keyword: acute kidney injury, cardiogenic shock, ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

Background : Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) especially ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus are both prevalent among patients with STEMI admitted to the hospital. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a marker of glucose control.Objectives : We aimed to investigate the role of HbA1c as the predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in STEMI patients.Methods : This was a retrospective cohort study. STEMI patients visiting Saiful Anwar General Hospital were registered. Patients were divided into three groups based on the HbA1c level <6.5%; 6.5-8.4% and ≥8.5%; respectively. The primary endpoint was in-hospital Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE), including cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), recurrent revascularization, acute pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, malignant arrhythmia, and stroke.Results: A total of 118 STEMI patients were included in this study, with distribution of 61 patients with HbA1c <6.5%, 25 patients with HbA1c 6.5-8.4%, and 31 patients with HbA1c ≥8.5%; respectively. The HbA1C level was associated with the history of diabetes mellitus (3.2% vs 36% vs 71%; p =0.000) and random blood glucose level at hospital admission (140.71 ± 39.67 mg/dL vs 172.96 ± 53.43 mg/dL vs 366.61 ± 169.67 mg/dL; p = 0.000). The MACE among three groups was not significantly different (17.7% vs 20% vs 35.5%; p=0,149). Conclusion: Our study reveals that the HbA1c level at hospital admission is associated with the history of diabetes mellitus and random blood glucose at hospital admission. However, HbA1c could not predict MACE in STEMI patients

Abstract

In the management of Acute Heart Failure(AHF) patients ,current guidelines  suggest  to make a prompt  clinical assessments that include  patient’s congestion and perfusion status evaluation, in order to  start appropriate treatments. Unfortunately ,so far, an accurate evaluation of haemodynamic and fluid status of AHF patients is only possible using invasive methods ;conseguently there is an unmeet need for noninvasive technologies to easly detect  different phenotypes of AHF subjects based on different cardiac haemodynamic profiles . Technological advances such as: Biva,Nexfin or NICas   could  allow for routine noninvasive continuous monitoring of Cardiac Hemodymanics and Fluid content in Acute Heart Failure patients. These  non invasive measurements may provide important information  for improving diagnosis, developing individualized therapeutic management plans/disposition decisions and predicting short term mortality

Abstract

Background : Fibrinolytic therapy (FT) is the alternative recommendation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) if primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could not be perfomed timely at initial presentation. Successful revascularization of occluded infarct-related coronary arteries depends on complex mechanisms of hemodynamic, clinical, biochemical, and mechanical parameters. The aim of study was to find outpredictors of patient characteristics to achieve complete reperfusion based on Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction(TIMI) 3 flow, Myocardial Blush Grade (MBG) 3, and ST-segment resolution.   Method : This retrospective study was held in Saiful Anwar, Malang Hospital during 2017-2021, including total of 142 patients. All patients received FT and coronary angiographic evaluation post-FT. Those were divided into 3 groups, which included R0,1 (0/1 highest measure of reperfusion), R2 (2 highest measures of reperfusion), and R3 (3 highest measures of reperfusion).  Results : Ischemic time (OR 0,82 [95%CI -0,39;-0,01]; p=0,04] and admission blood glucose (ABG) (OR 0,99 [95%CI -0,01;0]; p=0,046] were negatively correlated to the complete restoration of reperfusion (R3). This study revealed that ischemic time <5 hours (AUC 0,742 [95%CI 0,645-0,839]; p=0,000)  and ABG <140 mg/dL (AUC 0,701 [95%CI 0,612-0,790]; p=0,000) were significant predictor for R≥2. Coronary characteristic was not related to measure of reperfusion (p=0,25). Conclusion : Ischemic time <5 hours and ABG <140 mg/dL are important predictors of successful reperfusion post FT (R≥2). Early assessment of patients who are likely to have low parameter reperfusion (R<2) would help promptly preparing for primary PCI.

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can be managed as global long-term care and comprehensive risk reduction of cardiac patients based on preventive care through a professional multi-disciplinary integrated process approach.11 Multidisciplinary CR elements include: patient evaluations, physical activity counselling, exercise training, diet/nutritional counseling, psychosocial management, lipid management, smoking avoidance, management of weight, and regulation of blood pressure. Exercise training if begun at the post-ACS acute phase, would achieve its greatest beneficial effect on the process of LV remodeling in the dysfunctional LV and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in patients after acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract

AbstractIntroduction Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a syndrome represents the end stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD increased the risk of major amputation and cardiovascular events. The initial treatment approach for CLTI may significantly impact the risk of major amputation or death.Case Description A hypertensive 72-years old female complained left leg pain followed with wound on her left toe since 4 months ago. The wound persist although her toe was already amputated. On physical examination, the pulsation was diminished in her left pedis. Duplex ultrasound showed monophasic spectral doppler from left popliteal artery to distal left anterior tibial artery (ATA) and distal posterior tibial artery (PTA). CT-Angiography showed short total occlusion (2cm) at the distal left Superficial Femoral artery (SFA), multiple stenosis with maximal 90% stenosis at the left ATA and chronic total occlusion at the proximal-mid left posterior tibial artery (PTA). She was diagnosed with CLTI left inferior extremity Fontaine IV Rutherford 5. Angiography result was similar to CT-angiography result. The patient was successfully treated with plain balloon angioplasty from distal left SFA to distal left ATA and also drug coated balloon angioplasty from the distal left SFA to popliteal artery. Her wound also consulted to surgical department.Conclusion Appropriate revascularization is a fundamental to limb preservation. The option of strategy based on anatomical characterization and WIfI stage. We successfully perform endovascular strategy with TIMI flow 3 from left SFA to distal left TA and also distal PTA in our patient but we still need further holistic CLTI management.

Abstract

Background : Risk stratification of acute heart failure (AHF) patient during hospital admission utilizing clinical scores emerges as an alternative to standart natriuretic peptide measurement. Development of Saiful Anwar clinical congestion score (SACS) as multivariable predictive model for prediction of short-term outcome in AHF with reduced ejection fraction (AHF-rEF) requires validation in comparison to NT-proBNP.Objective : To validate prognostic value of SACS compare with NT-proBNP in AHF-rEFMethod : This single-center, prospective cohort study was held in dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital during January 2019 to June 2020. From total 89 AHF-rEF patients who admitted to emergency department, were assigned to SACS prospective questionnaire fulfillment and NT-proBNP measurement during first 12-hours since admission. Patients were divided into two groups based on SACS score and NT-proBNP value during admission. 90-days follow up was performed after index hospitalization with outcome of interest i.e all-cause mortality (ACM) and HF-related rehospitalization (HFR).Results : ACM and HFR rate in this study were 16.8% and 22.5%, respectively. SACS ≥6 demonstrated higher ACM and HFR rate during 90-days follow-up compared to SACS <6 (p=0.000; p=0.000, respectively). Performance of SACS ≥6 on admission showed good discriminative power for predicting 90-days ACM and HFR (AUC 0.841, p=0.000; AUC 0.788, p=0.000, respectively) compared to NT-proBNP ≥5000pg/mL (AUC 0.812, p=0.000; AUC 0.819, p=0.000, respectively). Additive value of NT-proBNP ≥5000pg/mL on top of SACS ≥6 increases discriminative power for predicting 90-days ACM and HFR after index hospitalization (AUC 0.836, p=0.000; AUC 0.90, p=0.000, respectively).Comclusion : SACS has demonstrated prognostic value compared to NT-proBNP for prediction of 90-days ACM and HFR after index hospitalization in AHF-rEF patients.

Abstract

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a chronic occlusive disease of arteries in the lower extremity due to atherosclerosis. PAD can lead to intermittent claudication, which is weakness or pain with walking alleviated with rest. Until now, the awareness of the public and medical personnel regarding PAD is still not as high as the alertness of coronary disorders. This editorial will focus on diagnosing and treating PAD focused on lower extremity artery disease (LEAD).
