"Latar Belakang : Penyakit jantung rematik (PJR) merupakan komplikasi paling serius dari demam rematik (DR). Penelitian terbaru telah menyoroti adanya inflamasi kronis yang ditandai tingginya kadar CRP, keterlibatan limfosit T serta sitokin inflamasi seperti TNF-α, IFN-γ dan IL-4. Obat yang memiliki efek anti inflamasi adalah penyekat HMG KoA reduktase, yang mampu menurunkan kadar TNF-α dan IFN-γ serta meningkatkan kadar IL-4. Tujuan : Untuk membuktikan efek atorvastatin dalam menurunkan ekspresi gen TNF-α dan IFN-γ, serta meningkatkan ekspresi gen IL-4. Menilai hubungan antara penurunan ekspresi gen TNF-α dan IFN-γ dengan peningkatan ekspresi gen IL-4. Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan studi eksperimental. Pasien dengan penyakit katup jantung dengan etiologi rematik yang akan menjalani tindakan perbaikan/penggantian katup diberikan perlakuan atorvastatin/plasebo 6 minggu sebelum operasi, dilakukan pemeriksaan ekspresi gen TNF-α, IFN-γ dan IL-4 pada jaringan katup dan Appendiks Atrium Kiri (AAK) yang dieksisi saat operasi, menggunakan alat Real Time PCR. Hasil : Dari 53 responden, dengan rerata usia 35 tahun, 70% di antaranya adalah perempuan. 25 responden mendapatkan atorvastatin. Kelompok Atorvastatin memiliki ekspresi gen TNF-α di AAK yang lebih rendah dengan p 0,005 (95% CI 0,05-0,58), setelah disesuaikan dengan jenis kelamin dan fraksi ejeksi. Namun tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna secara statistik dari ekspresi gen IL-4 dan IFN-γ di AAK antara kedua kelompok responden, begitu pula dengan seluruh sitokin pada jaringan katup. Kesimpulan : Pemberian atorvastatin dapat mengurangi inflamasi pada jaringan appendiks atrium kiri penderita penyakit jantung rematik yang ditandai dengan rendahnya ekspresi gen TNF-α namun tidak terbukti mengurangi inflamasi pada jaringan katup. Terdapat hubungan antara penurunan ekspresi gen TNF-α dan IFN-γ dengan peningkatan ekspresi gen IL-4.

Background : Rheumatic Heart Disease is the most troublesome complication of rheumatic fever. Recent trials emphasized ongoing chronic inflammation represented by CRP, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-4,. HMG CoA reductase inhibitor was agent with antiinflamatory effect, suppressing TNF-α and IFN-γ and increasing IL-4.

Objectives : This study was to prove the effect of atorvastatin in suppressing gene expression of TNF-α and IFN-γ, and also effect of atorvastatin in increasing gene expression of IL-4. Knowing correlation between suppressed TNF-α and IFN-γ gene expression and increased IL-4 gene expression.

Method : This study was designed as an experimental study. Patients with valvular dysfunction due to rheumatic process planned to underwent cardiac valves repair/replacement operation were given atorvastatin/placebo 6 weeks before. Gene expression method was used to check mRNA TNF-α, mRNA IFN-γ and mRNA IL-4 level from excised valves and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA).

Result : 53 patients were enrolled. Proportion of women was 70% and age average was 35 years old. Atorvastatin group had lower gene expression TNF-α level in LAA with p 0,005 (95% CI 0,05-0,58), after adjusted with gender and ejection fraction. But there were no differences of IL-4 and IFN-γ gene expression in LAA, either all inflammation cytokines in valves.

Conclusions : Atorvastatin reduced inflammation in LAA patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease by suppressing TNF-α gene expression but didn’t proved reducing inflammation in cardiac valves. There was correlation between supressed gene expression of TNF-α and IFN-γ with increased gene expression of IL-4 level."

"Latar belakang: Penyakit jantung rematik (PJR) merupakan salah satu penyebab kematian kardiovaskular pada anak yang dapat dicegah. Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara endemis PJR. Data mengenai kesintasan, perbaikan katup, dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pada populasi anak masih terbatas.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesintasan dan perbaikan katup lima tahun setelah terdiagnosis pada anak dengan PJR serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi prognostik dengan rancangan penelitian kohort retrospektif di Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo menggunakan data rekam medis pasien yang terdiagnosis dengan PJR sebelum Desember 2018 dan diikuti selama lima tahun, paling akhir Desember 2023. Subjek yang diteliti adalah anak berusia kurang dari 18 tahun saat terdiagnosis dengan PJR. Faktor yang diteliti untuk kesintasan dan perbaikan katup adalah status gizi, kepatuhan profilaksis penisilin, kelas gagal jantung New York Heart Association (NYHA), fraksi ejeksi, derajat katup, jumlah katup, dan operasi katup.Hasil: Sebanyak 100 anak yang terdiagnosis PJR dengan rerata usia 11,29 (8,42-14,16) tahun dan proporsi jenis kelamin 1:1 dimasukkan dalam analisis. Rerata pengamatan adalah 47,96 bulan (simpang baku 20 bulan). Keterlibatan katup terbanyak adalah regurgitasi mitral (32%). Sebagian besar pasien terdiagnosis dengan derajat katup berat (58%). Kesintasan 5 tahun didapatkan 90% dengan prediktor independen kematian yaitu fraksi ejeksi <55% saat terdiagnosis dengan HR 6,34 (IK95% 1,72-23,46; p = 0,006) dan kelas NYHA III-IV saat terdiagnosis dengan HR 5,33 (IK95% 1,05-27,11; p = 0,04). Proporsi anak dengan PJR yang mengalami perbaikan katup 5 tahun setelah terdiagnosis adalah 60% dengan faktor yang memengaruhi yaitu operasi katup dengan RR 1,40 (IK95% 1,05-1,88; p=0,02). Analisis subgrup pada subjek yang tidak operasi mendapatkan bahwa kelas NYHA I-II dan fraksi ejeksi >55% saat tediagnosis secara signifikan berpengaruh terhadap perbaikan katup dengan RR 3,05 (IK95% 1,33-7,03; p = 0,01) dan RR 1,62 (IK95% 1,28-2,04; p<0,01) secara berturut-turut. Kesimpulan: Kesintasan lima tahun anak dengan PJR adalah 90% dengan faktor yang memengaruhi yaitu fraksi ejeksi <55% dan kelas gagal jantung NYHA III-IV saat terdiagnosis. Sebanyak 60% subjek mengalami perbaikan katup dengan faktor yang memengaruhi adalah operasi katup.

Background: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a major contributor of preventable cardiovascular disease in children. Indonesia is one of the most endemic countries with RHD. However, data on clinical outcomes and prognostic factors are still lacking.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the five year survival rate, proportion of valve improvement, and prognostic factors of both outcomes.

Method: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital which included patients aged below 18 years at diagnosis before December 2018. Subjects were followed for 5 years up to December 2023. Factors analyzed for both mortality and valve improvement were nutrition status, adherence to penicillin prophylaxis, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, ejection fraction, valve severity, number of valve involved, and valve surgery.

Results: One hundred patients with RHD were included with mean age of 11.29 (8.42-14.16) years. The proportion of female : male was 1:1. Mean duration of follow up was 47.96 (SD 20) months). The majority of valve abnormality was mitral regurgitation (32%). As many as 58% were diagnosed with severe valve disease. Five year survival rate was 90%. Significant prognostic factors for mortality were ejection fraction <55% at diagnosis with HR 6.34 (95%CI 1.72-23.46; p=0.006) and NYHA class III-IV at diagnosis with HR 5.33 (95%CI 1,05-27.11; p=0.04. The proportion of subjects with valve improvement after 5 years was 60%. Multivariate analysis revealed that valve surgery was the only significant factor for valve improvement with RR 1.40 (95%CI 1.05-1.88; p=0.02). Subgroup analysis in subjects who did not undergo surgery showed that NYHA class I-II and ejection fraction >55% at diagnosis significantly affected valve improvement with RR 3,05 (95% CI 1,33-7,03; p = 0,01) dan RR 1,62 (95% CI 1,28-2,04; p<0,01)

Conclusion: The five year survival rate of children with RHD was 90%. Mortality predictors were ejection fraction <55% and NYHA class III-IV at diagnosis. Sixty percent of patients had valve improvement with valve surgery as a predictor."

"[ABSTRAKLatar belakang : Stenosis mitral (SM) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan yang penting di Indonesia. Pada SM terjadi peningkatan kadar P selectin karena disfungsi endotel dan aktivasi platelet. Komisurotomi mitral transvena perkutan (KMTP) merupakan tatalaksana baku untuk penderita SM yang dapat memperbaiki kemampuan aktivitas fisik yang pada akhirnya akan mempengaruhi kadar P selectin. Belum ada penelitian yang menghubungkan antara tingkat aktifitas fisik dengan kadar P Selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP pada SM rematik.Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang. Dari 56 subyek penelitian yang menjalani KMTP sejak bulan Mei 2013 sampai Februari 2014 di Rumah Sakit Jantung dan Pembuluh Darah Harapan Kita, didapatkan 35 sampel yang memenuhi kriteria penerimaan . Data klinis dan data ekokardiografi sebelum dan 3 bulan pasca KMTP diambil dari catatan medis. Dilakukan wawancara 3 bulan pasca KMTP. Tingkat aktivitas fisik dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok: kelompok 1 1-4 METs, kelompok 2 > 4 METs. Kadar P selectin diambil 3 bulan pasca KMTP. Selanjutnya dilakukan analisa statistik untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat aktivitas fisik dengan kadar P Selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP pada SM rematikHasil : Pasien yang akan menjalani KMTP memiliki rerata usia 40,00±11,58 tahun dengan proporsi perempuan lebih tinggi daripada laki-laki (74,3%) dan dengan proporsi irama sinus yang lebih tinggi daripada irama atrial (57,1%). Dari uji T didapatkan ada perbedaan bermakna rata-rata kadar P selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP pada tingkat aktivitas fisik 1-4 METs dan > 4 METs, dimana rerata kadar P selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP pada tingkat aktivitas fisik > 4 METs lebih rendah secara bermakna dibandingkan 1-4 METs (p=0,003). Setelah dilakukan analisa multivariat terlihat tingkat aktivitas fisik pasca KMTP tetap berpengaruh terhadap kadar P Selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP (p=0,001). Area Katup Mitral (AKM) pasca KMTP berpengaruh terhadap kadar P selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP (p=0,018), namun tingkat aktivitas fisik pasca KMTP lebih besar pengaruhnya dibandingkan AKM.Kesimpulan : Terdapat hubungan antara tingkat aktivitas fisik dengan kadar P selectin 3 bulan pasca KMTP dimana pada tingkat aktivitas yang lebih tinggi ( > 4 METs) kadar P selectin lebih rendah 10,489 ug/ml dibandingkan tingkatan aktivitas fisik 1-4 METs.

ABSTRACTBackground: Mitral stenosis (MS) is an important health problem in Indonesia. P selectin level in MS increases due to endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is one of the management for MS patients. Thus, the physical activity can improve and in turn affect the level of P selectin. There has been no study link the level of physical activity with the level of P Selectin 3 months after of PTMC.Method: This is a cross sectional study with 56 subjects who underwent PTMC from May 2013 to February 2014 at the Hospital of National Heart Centre Harapan Kita. Then, 35 samples met the inclusion criteria. Clinical and echocardiography data before and 3 months after PTMC were taken from medical records. Interviews were conducted 3 months after PTMC. Physical activity levels were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (1-4 METs) and group 2 (> 4 METs). Sample for P selectin was taken 3 months after PTMC. Further statistical analysis was done to determine the relationship between physical activity level with level of P Selectin 3 months after PTMC in rheumatic MS.Result: Patients who will undergo PTMC have the mean age of 40.00 ± 11.58 years with a higher proportion of women than men (74.3%) and the proportion of sinus rhythm is higher than atrial rhythm (57.1%) . T-test analysis result showed significant difference in the average levels of P selectin 3 months after PTMC on the level of physical activity 1-4 METs and > 4 METs. The average P selectin levels on the level of physical activity in group with > 4 METs was significantly lower compared with group 1-4 METs (p = 0.003). After multivariate analysis, the physical activity level still has an effect on the P selectin levels 3 months after PTMC (p = 0.001). The Mitral Valve Area (MVA) after PTMC also has an effect on P selectin levels (p = 0.018). However, the level of physical activity after PTMC has a greater effect than MVA.Conclusion: There is a relationship between the level of physical activity with P selectin levels 3 months after PTMC.Group with higher activity level (> 4 METs) have lower level of P selectin (with the mean difference levels of P Selectin 10,489 ug/ml);Background: Mitral stenosis (MS) is an important health problem in Indonesia.

It is concluded that in a few anti rheumatic traditional herbs which wa observed contains much steroid and metampiron."

"Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari variabel prognostik terhadap kematian penderita yang dilakukan beda katup mitral. Penelitian bersifat retrospektif terhadap semua penderita yang dilakukan bedah katup mitral dengan atau tanpa bedah ikutan trikuspid di Rumah Sakit Jantung Harapan Kita, Jakarta amtara bulan September 1985 sampai tanggal 31 Desember 1988 (n=162). Sembilan puluh orang dengan stenosis mitral (MS) dominan, 72 orang dengan insufisiensi mitral (MI), terdiri dari 56 orang laki-laki dan 106 orang wanita, berumur antara 7-64 (rata-rata 30,1 + 12,9) tahun. Bedah perbaikan katup dilakukan pada 87 orang, sedang oenggantian katup pada 75 orang. Seratus empat puluh sembilan orang dapat diamati (92%) dengan mengirim surat, telepon, pengamatan 16 bulan (antara 0-40 bulan), dengan jumlah pengamatan kumulatif 2607,4 bulan. Enam belas variabel prabedah dan 4 variabel intrabedah telah diuji untuk mendapatkan variabel prognostik terhadap kematian (bedah serta tertunda). Angka ketahanan hidup dihitung menurut Kaplan-Meier. Analisis univariat dengan uji logrank. Angka kematian bedah dan angka kematian tertunda seluruh penderita masing-masing 6,8% dan 2,8 per 100 oang-tahun, untuk penderita MS masing-masing 8,9% dan 1,5 per 100 orang-tahun, sedang untuk penderita MI 4,2% dan 4,6 per 100 rang-tahun. Satu-satunya variabel prognostik independen penderita MS adalah jenis operasi (perbaikan atau penggantian katup). Angka ketahanan hidup 3 tahun penderita MS dengan bedah perbaikan katup adalah 94,8 +- 2,9%, sedang untuk penderita MS dengan bedah penggantian katup 78,0 +- 5,7% (p=0,0174). Tetapi penderita MS dengan bedah penggantian katup mempunyai umur lebih tua, kelas fungsional lebih buruk, lebih banyak yang dalam irama fibrilasi atrium, rasio kardiotoraks lebih besar dan indeks curah jantung lebih rendah dan bermakna bila dibandingkan dengan bedah perbaikan katup. Untuk penderita MI, hanya variabel fraksi ejeksi (EF) yang merupakan variabel prognostik independen. Angka ketahanan hidup 3 tahun penderita MI dengan EF < 50% adalah 74,2 +- 7,2% sedang untuk penderita MI dengan EF > 50% adalah 97,5 +- 2,4% (p=0,0229). sebagai kesimpulan operasi katup mitral mungkin akan lebih bermanfaat bila dilakukan dalam keadaan yang dini. Suatu penelitian jangka panjang mengenai variabel prognostik terhadap kematian dan/atau kualitas hidup penderita bedah katup mitral masih sangat relevan dimasa yang akan datang untuk mendapatkan masukan yang lebih akurat.

The purpose of this study was to find prognostic variables for mortality in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery. This was a retrospective study of all patients undergoing mitral valve surgery with or without tricuspid concomitant surgery at Harapan Kita Heart Hospital, Jakarta between September 1985 and December 31, 1988 (n=162). Ninety patients with dominant mitral stenosis (MS), 72 patients with mitral insufficiency (MI), consisting of 56 men and 106 women, aged between 7-64 (mean 30.1 + 12.9) years. Valve repair surgery was performed on 87 patients, while valve replacement was performed on 75 patients. One hundred and forty-nine patients could be observed (92%) by sending letters, telephone, 16-month observation (between 0-40 months), with a cumulative observation of 2607.4 months. Sixteen preoperative variables and 4 intraoperative variables were tested to obtain prognostic variables for death (surgical and delayed). Survival rates were calculated according to Kaplan-Meier. Univariate analysis with logrank test. Surgical mortality and delayed mortality rates for all patients were 6.8% and 2.8 per 100 person-years, respectively, for MS patients 8.9% and 1.5 per 100 person-years, while for MI patients 4.2% and 4.6 per 100 person-years. The only independent prognostic variable for MS patients was the type of surgery (valve repair or replacement). The 3-year survival rate for MS patients with valve repair surgery was 94.8 +- 2.9%, while for MS patients with valve replacement surgery it was 78.0 +- 5.7% (p = 0.0174). However, MS patients with valve replacement surgery were older, had worse functional class, more were in atrial fibrillation rhythm, had a higher cardiothoracic ratio and a lower cardiac output index and was significant when compared with valve repair surgery. For MI patients, only the ejection fraction (EF) variable is an independent prognostic variable. The 3-year survival rate for MI patients with EF < 50% is 74.2 +- 7.2% while for MI patients with EF > 50% is 97.5 +- 2.4% (p = 0.0229). In conclusion, mitral valve surgery may be more beneficial if performed in an early state. A long-term study of prognostic variables on mortality and/or quality of life in mitral valve surgery patients is still very relevant in the future to obtain more accurate input."
