The prevalence of patients with cardiovascular disorders are increasing. Nurses are expected to contribute on managament of patients with cardiovascular disorders by running their roles as a care giver, educator, researcher and innovator. Residency clinical practice of medical-surgical nursing specialists had been carried out for 1 year (2 semesters) and aimed to implement and explore these roles with Roy’s Adaptation Model (RAM) approach. The role as a care giver was applied to 30 patients with various cardiovascular disorders and a patient with STEMI as the primary case. The role as an educator was performed by educating patients, nurses and nursing students. The role as a researcher was carried out by applying the evidence-based nursing, relaxation response intervention to reduce stress levels in patients with CAD. The role as an innovator was executed by applying the complications monitoring format and algorithms for patients with post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The analysis showed that the MAR can be apllied effectively in nursing care for patients with cardiovascular disorders to improve adaptation level and the relaxation response intervention can be applied effectively to reduce stress scores and physiological markers of stress in patients with CAD. In addition, the post PCI monitoring format and algorithm can be applied effectively to anticipate and manage the complications after PCI."

Background: Presently, it has been acknowledged that COVID-19 infection may persist longer as Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (cMRI) possesses a high diagnostic value to evaluate myocardial tissue characteristics. Data are still limited regarding longer implications of COVID-19 infection towards myocardial tissues and predictive admission factors in patients with Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD).

Aim(s): To evaluate the prevalences of myocardial fibrosis using cMRI in patients with CVD and one year post-COVID-19 hospitalization and identifying admission factors in correlation with myocardial fibrosis. 

Method(s): Prospective cohort to assess cMRI parameters in patients with CVD and history of COVID-19 one year post-hospitalization. The results were then compared with the age-, sex-, risk factors-matched control group without prior of COVID-19 infection. Lastly, multivariat analysis was done to identify relations between admission factors and myocardial fibrosis. 

Result(s): A total of 32 subjects with CVD one year post-COVID-19 hospitalization and 49 controls were included in this study. Significant increases of cMRI parameters, namely abnormal T1 relaxation time (65.5% vs 36.7%; p-value=0.011) and non-ischemic late gadolinum enhancement (LGE) (62.5% vs 29.8%;p-value=<0.001) were observed in the population with prior COVID-19 infection compared to control. No admission factors were found to be related with the increases in nonischemic LGE/abnormal T1.

Conclusion: There is a significant increase of myocardial fibrosis prevalence in patients with CVD one year post-COVID-19 hospitalization compared to control assessed through cMRI parameters. No relationships were found between admission factors and myocardial fibrosis. "

"Background: Infeksi Endodontik dapat menjadi faktor prediktor penyakit jantung koroner (PJK) aterosklerosis. Penyakit ini terjadi karena merespon proses inflamatori akibat infeksi bakteri Porphyromonas endodontalis. Beberapa literatur mengatakan bahwa etiologi penyakit kardiovaskular disebabkan infeksi kronik. Diduga bakteri Porphyromonas endodontalis yang ada dalam Infeksi Endodontik (IE) dapat juga menjadi faktor prediktor PJK aterosklerosis. Objective: Mengetahui peran dan potensi IE sebagai faktor predikdi PJK aterosklerosis dan juga peran sitokin inflamatori, IL-1 , IL-6, hsCRP, TNF- dalam kaitannya akan hubungan IE dan PJK aterosklerosis. Method: Dilakukan riset rancangan kasus kontrol dengan mengamati ada terpaparnya IE pada penderita PJK aterosklerosis. Dibagi menjadi kelompok subjek PJK aterosklerosis dengan IE sebagai kasus dan kelompok subjek bukan PJK aterosklerosis dan tanpa IE sebagai kontrol. Subjek dilihat intra oralnya terutama jaringan periapikal dan jaringan periodontal, dicatat faktor-faktor tradisional penyebab PJK serta diukur kadar IL-1 , IL-6, hsCRP, TNF- di dalam darah sirkulasi. Dicatat juga adanya gastritis, psoriosis, dan periodontitis. Results: Dianalisis dengan regresi logistik terlhat ada peran yang potensial (p < 0,041) Infeksi Endodontik sebagai penyebab penyakit jantung koroner aterosklerosis. IL-1, IL-6, dan CRP di dalam darah sirkulasi tidak berbeda bermakna setelah dianalisis denam tes Mann- Whitney, walaupun median setiap kelompok variabel lebih tinggi pada kelompok kasus daripada kontrol. Hanya TNF- yang berbeda bermakna (p < 0,019) setelah danalisis dengan uji-t. Conclusion: Infeksi Endodontik mempunyai peran yang potensial menjadi faktor prediktor penyakit jantung koroner aterosklerosis dan mungkin hanya TNF- yang terlibat dalam mekanisme terjadinya PJK karena IE.

Endodontic infection can be a predictive factor of atherosclerosis coronary heart disease (CHD). This disease occurs because it responds to the inflammatory process caused by infection of Porphyromonas endodontalisbacteria. Several literature state that the etiology of cardiovascular disease is caused by chronic infection. Porphyromonas endodontalis bacteria inside Endodontic Infection (EI) is also assumed to be a predictive factor of atherosclerosis CHD. The purpose of this research is to determine the role and potential of EI as a predictive factor of atherosclerosis CHD as well as the role of inflammatory cytokines, IL-1 , IL-6, hsCRP, TNF- in relation to the relationship of EI and atherosclerosis CHD. This research used a case control design research method by observing EI exposure in atherosclerosis CHD patients. Subjects were divided into atherosclerosis CHD subjects with IE as case and non-atherosclerosis CHD subjects without IE as the control. On the subjects, their intraoral was observed, specifically the periapical tissue and periodontal tissue, the traditional factors causing CHD were recorded and the level of IL-1 , IL-6, hsCRP, TNF- in circulating blood was measured. The presence of gastritis, psoriasis, and periodontitis was also recorded. The results of data analysis in this research with logistic regression showed that there was a potential role (p <0.041) of endodontic infection as a cause of atherosclerosis CHD. IL-1, IL-6, and CRP in circulating blood do not differ significantly after being analyzed by Mann- Whitney test even though the median of each group was higher in the case than the control group. It was only TNF- that was significantly different (p <0.019) after being analyzed by t-test. Therefore, the researcher concludes that endodontic infection has a potential role as a predictive factor of atherosclerosis CHD and probably it is only TNF- that is involved in the mechanism of CHD incidence due to IE."
