Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases associated with metabolic disorders are collectively referred to as Cardiometabolic Diseases (CMDs). Oxidative stress and inflammation are key contributors to the development and progression of CMDs. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents have garnered significant attention as potential therapeutic strategies for preventing and managing cardiovascular disorders. To better understand the complex interactions between oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiovascular health, this review paper will focus on the mechanisms of action and potential advantages of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing the risk factors associated with CVDs and enhancing cardiovascular health in general.

Abstract

Background: The management of complex cardiovascular conditions during pregnancy poses unique challenges, and in the case of a large secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), achieving successful closure through a transcatheter approach guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) requires careful navigation and expertise. This study sought to present a case that exemplifies the contemporary approach of using TEE guidance for the closure of an ASD in pregnant womenCase presentation: A 31-year-old woman with multigravida, diagnosed with secundum ASD and pulmonary hypertension, underwent TEE. The TEE examination revealed a significant ASD measuring 2.8-3.1 cm with inadequate surrounding rims. Subsequently, our intention was to employ a device to address this defect. TEE was utilized to guide the placement of a 14F delivery sheath into the left upper pulmonary vein and left atrium. Using a catheter, we successfully deployed a 40 mm ASD Occluder (MemoPart), concluding the intervention without any complications. Given the concerns regarding the potential risks of radiation exposure and teratogenic effects on fetal development, particularly in young patients and during pregnancy, it is crucial to prioritize TEE-guided closure of ASD for the safety of both the mother and the fetus.Conclusion: Closure of ASD with zero fluoroscopy proved to be a safe and effective procedure, demonstrating feasibility and significant benefits for pregnant women with ASD.

Abstract

Background: The majority of studies indicate that the asymptomatic or atypical presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) as a significant manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with a poor prognosis.Objective: The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinical characteristics and management of ACS patients who presented without chest pain and non-ischemic electrocardiogram (ECG).Case presentation: A 31 years old man with syncope was brought to our hospital. ECG revealed total AV block (TAVB) without ST segment changes. First, he was diagnosed with cardiac syncope because his ECG showed no ischemic sign. He had a strong familial history of CAD, so we examined his cardiac enzymes and found an increase in serial cardiac enzymes. Then, he was diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Early invasive strategy with chronic total occlusion (CTO) at osteal right coronary artery (RCA) and acute total occlusion at mid RCA with implantation of 1 DES at osteal-proximal RCA was selected for this patient. After five days of hospitalization, he discharged home with medicines. Conclusion: In order to significantly lower their morbidity and mortality, this group of high-risk patients needs to receive improved early diagnostic and treatment choices.

Abstract

Background: Recent studies showed no outcome difference between strict and lenient rate control in the general Atrial Fibrillation (AF) population. However, for AF and Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis (RMS) patients, evidences were lacking.Objective: To assess the impact of strict and lenient heart rate control on the Six-Minute Walk Test (SMWT) and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients with AF and RMS.Material and Methods: A prospective multicenter trial across tertiary hospitals in East Java assessed strict and lenient heart rate control's impact on the SMWT and HRQoL in AF and RMS patients. Sixty-one participants were randomized into strict and lenient groups over six months from March to August 2023. Medications were adjusted to achieve target heart rates, and HRQoL was assessed using SF-36 and SMWT at baseline and three months post-target heart rate attainment.Result: In our study, 29 patients were under strict heart rate control, and 32 were under lenient control. We found a decrease in HRQoL across all subscales, with significant differences observed in general health perception and physical function among those under strict control (p=0.002 and 0.03, respectively). However, no significant disparity was found in the SMWT distance difference between lenient and strict groups (p=0.529), nor in METs (p=0.326).Conclusion: In the study, lenient heart rate control demonstrates significant effects on the general health perception and physical function subscales compared to strict heart rate control.
