The ASEAN Journal of Military and Preventive Medicine
ISSN : 30319447     EISSN : 3031870X     DOI : https://doi.org/10.47353/ajmpm
Core Subject :
The ASEAN Journal of Military and Preventive Medicine is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and innovation in the fields of military medicine, preventive medicine, biodefense, emergency medicine, disaster response, humanitarian health, and global public health. As one of the leading scholarly platforms in Indonesia and the ASEAN region, the journal provides an essential forum for researchers, military health professionals, clinicians, academics, and policymakers to disseminate high-quality research findings, emerging technologies, and interdisciplinary perspectives relevant to military and civilian healthcare systems. While military medicine remains the journal’s primary focus, contributions from allied disciplines with translational and practical impact are highly encouraged, particularly studies related to medical preparedness, humanitarian assistance, operational medicine, epidemiology, tropical diseases, public health resilience, and preventive healthcare strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Myocarditis has heterogeneous clinical manifestations and may be difficult to recognize when left ventricular ejection fraction is preserved. Speckle-tracking echocardiography may detect subtle myocardial dysfunction through global longitudinal strain (GLS) assessment. Case Illustration: A 30-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea and preceding sore throat, followed by chest pain radiating to the left shoulder. Electrocardiography showed sinus rhythm without acute ST-segment elevation, and conventional transthoracic echocardiography showed preserved LVEF (61%). Inflammatory markers and NT-proBNP were elevated. STE demonstrated markedly reduced GLS (-4.7%), especially in lateral, posterior, and anterior segments. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging performed 10 days after symptom onset showed subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement in the basal lateral and inferolateral left ventricular walls, supporting myocarditis. Discussion: The regional distribution of impaired strain corresponded with cardiac magnetic resonance abnormalities, suggesting that STE may identify clinically relevant myocardial involvement despite normal LVEF. Serial STE showed improvement during follow-up after guideline-directed therapy and clinical stabilization. Conclusion: GLS assessment by STE is a useful non-invasive adjunct for diagnosis, risk evaluation, and follow-up of suspected myocarditis, particularly when conventional echocardiography appears normal.

Abstract

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the recovery of patients, improving their quality of life and reducing the risk of complications by restoring a person's functional capacity after experiencing an injury. Chronic musculoskeletal injuries that are not handled optimally have the potential to cause disability for soldiers, making it impossible for soldiers to return to duty according to their main duties. Lower extremity injury is related to the potential reduction in a person's functional capacity, related to their functions, namely mobility, fitness, strength and agility. Active military soldiers with chronic lower extremity injuries underwent an intensive-structured medical rehabilitation program 3 times a week for 8 weeks. At the end of the rehabilitation program, statistically significant differences were found in the increase in cardiorespiratory fitness capacity and agility compared to pre-intervention. Even in chronic conditions, intensive medical and structural rehabilitation programs in cases of lower limb injuries can significantly increase functional capacity in assessing cardiorespiratory fitness and agility in accordance with TNI soldier fitness standards.
