Abstract

Introduction: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of worldwide death. A number of markers have been identified in terms of the atherogenic potential of the lipid profile.The TG/HDL-C ratio is an easy and economical non-invasive examination method as a predictor of coronary heart disease severity. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship of the TG/HDL ratio with the severity of coronary lesions. Method: This cross-sectional study included 53 acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing coronary angiography. Exclusion criteria include (1)AMI patients receiving fibrinolytic therapy, (2) Patients who have routinely consumed lipid lowering drug for 6 weeks,(3) Incomplete coronary angiography and medical records. The TG/HDL ratio is the result of dividing the triglyceride value by HDL. The TG/HDL ratio was divided into 2 groups, namely the TG/HDL ratio <4 group and the TG/HDL ratio >4 group. The severity of coronary lesions was described by the SYNTAX score, which was divided into two: the low SYNTAX score group (≤22) and patients with a low SYNTAX score (≤22) and medium-high SYNTAX score (≥23). Bivariate analysis was performed to find the relationship between the TG/HDL ratio and the SYNTAX score. The value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: From 53 patients, 26 patients (49.1%) had a SYNTAX score ≥ 23 and 27 patients (50.9%) had a SYNTAX score < 23. Patients with NSTEMI, DM risk factors, and obesity were higher in the SYNTAX score group ≥23. From the results of statistical analysis, there was a significant relationship between the TG/HDL ratio with coronary lesion severity (p = 0,004). Conclusion: Enhancement of TG/HDL ratio is correlated with coronary lesion severity in acute myocardial infarction patients using the SYNTAX score.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of heart failure is known to increase day by day, as well as the incidence of rehospitalization and death. One way that can be done is to optimize health status and perform cardiac rehabilitation. Aerobic exercise is recommended for patients with heart failure. Aerobic exercise has been shown to increase functional capacity in patient with heart failure. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between aerobic exercise with functional capacity improvement in patient with heart failure in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Method: This study was conducted using prospective cohort method on 35 patients with heart failure in a cardiac rehabilitation program at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Functional capacity and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) data were collected before and after aerobic exercise. Univariate and bivariate data analysis were performed using SPSS. Results: 35 samples were included in this study, with an average age of 54,57±1,28 years and dominated by male. The result showed an increase in distance after aerobic exercise program compared to the initial examination (373,6±133,64 vs 192,57±64,68) with p-value <0,001. There was an increase in functional capacity from 3,55±1,12 MET to 6,6±2,44 MET after aerobic exercise (P<0,001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between aerobic exercise and functional capacity improvement in patients with heart failure at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan.
