"Background. Spontaneous Echo Contrast (SEC) appears as a curling motion of echo in real lime and this indicates Wood stasis, ft is therefore predictive for thrombus formation and higher risk for thrombocmbolic phenomenon. Accumulating evidence showed higher incidence of (hrombus formation in mitral stenosis (MS) patients if they presented with positive SEC. Detection of left atrial thrombus is even more important before mitral valvuloplasty procedure to prevent .systemic and especially cerebral embolism. The aim of this study was to compare the utility of transthoracal eehocardiography (TIE) to transesophageal cchocardiography (TEE) in detecting SEC and thrombus in patients with MS.Method. Forty-eight patients with MS were studied with TEE and TTE. The diagnosis of MS was established by TTE.Result. With TTE, 15 patients (31,3%) had positive SEC, 33 patients (68, 7%) had negative SEC and 6 patients (12,5%) of the SEC positive patienls had thrombus in LA. On the other hand with TEE, SEC were positive in 36 (75%) patients, negative in 12 (25%) patients and 17 (35,4%) of the SEC positive patients showed LA thrombus. This study confirmed the strong association between SEC and thrombus formation, as thrombus was only observed in SEC positive patients.Conclusion. TEE is superior to TTB in detecting SEC and LA thrombus in patients with MS, because of the belter acoustic window of TEE. TEE should be considered in every patients with MS where thrombus formation has to be ruled out, particularly before baloon mitral valvuloplasly procedure."

"Latar belakang: Stenosis mitral (SM) merupakan peyempitan dari orifisium katup mitral, dimana SM berat didefinisikan sebagai area katup mitral (AKM) <1 cm² dan biasanya berhubungan dengan gradien transmitral >10 mmHg. Pada praktik klinis, ketidaksesuaian antara hasil pengukuran AKM dan gradien transmitral sering ditemukan. Pasien SM berat dengan gradien transmitral rendah (≤10 mmHg) memiliki kecenderungan menetapnya gejala klinis paska tindakan pembedahan katup mitral dan kurangnya perbaikan klinis paska tindakan komisurotomi mitral transkateter perkutan (KMTP). Namun hingga saat ini, belum banyak studi mengenai faktor yang berhubungan dengan gradien transmitral rendah pada SM berat. Tujuan:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan gradien transmitral rendah pada SM berat. Metode: Studi potong lintang pada 322 pasien SM berat. Dilakukan evaluasi catatan rekam medik dan hasil pemeriksaan ekokardiografi transtorakal. SM berat didefinisikan sebagai SM dengan AKM <1 cm² yang diukur secara planimetri dan gradien transmitral rendah didefinisikan sebagai gradien transmitral ≤10 mmHg. Hasil: Dari 322 subjek penelitian, sebanyak 36% memiliki gradien transmitral ≤10 mmHg, 68,9% perempuan dan 72% memiliki irama fibrilasi atrium (FA). Berdasarkan analisis multivariat, didapatkan faktor independen gradien transmitral rendah pada SM berat adalah net atrioventricular compliance (IK 95% 3,57–11,02, OR 6,27), maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity (IK 95% 0,14–0,45, OR 0,26), irama fibrilasi atrium (IK 95% 1,20–4,91, OR 2,43) dan jenis kelamin perempuan (IK 95% 1,07–3,69, OR 1,99). Kesimpulan: Net atrioventricular compliance, maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity, irama fibrilasi atrium dan jenis kelamin perempuan berhubungan dengan gradien transmitral rendah pada stenosis katup mitral berat.

Background: Mitral stenosis (MS) is the narrowing of mitral valve orifice, in which severe MS is defined as planimetered mitral valve area (MVA) <1 cm² with transmitral gradient >10 mmHg. However, discrepancy between planimetered MVA and transmitral gradient is not uncommon in patients with severe MS, suggesting the presence of low gradient (LG) severe MS. Patients in this group display less benefit from valvuloplasty and a greater risk for persistent symptoms after mitral valve replacement (MVR). Yet, factors associated with LG severe MS has not been studied extensively. Objective: Aim of this study is to determine factors associated with LG severe MS. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in 322 patients with severe MS. Medical records and transthoracic echocardiography examination results were evaluated. Severe MS was defined as planimetered MVA <1 cm² and LG was defined as transmitral gradient ≤10 mmHg. Results: Of 322 subjects, 36% had transmitral gradient ≤10 mmHg, 68,9% were women, and 72% had atrial fibrillation. According to multivariate analysis, several independent factors to LG severe MS were net atrioventricular compliance (95% CI 3,57–11,02, OR 6,27), maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity (95% CI 0,14–0,45, OR 0,26), atrial fibrillation (95% CI 1,20–4,91, OR 2,43) and women (95% CI 1,07–3,69, OR 1,99). Conclusion: Net atrioventricular compliance, maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity, AF and women were associated with LG severe MS."

"Tujuan : Menilai korelasi antara kelentutan atrioventrikular (Cn) dengan tekanan sistolik arteri pulmonal dan besarnya penurunan tekanan arteri pulmonal segera setelah dilakukan komisurotomi mitral transvena perkutan (KMTP). Latar Belakang : Pada pasien stenosis mitral (SM) terjadinya peningkatan tekanan arteri pulmonal dan beratnya gambaran klinis tidak selalu berkaitan dengan area efektif katup mitral (MVA) serta perbedaan tekanan transmitral (MVG) karena beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelenturan atrioventrikular (Cn) juga mempengaruhi. Metode : Merupakan studi potong lintang yang dilakukan pada 30 pasien SM berat yang menjalani KMTP di PJNHK dari bulan Januari 2008 s/d oktober 2010. Pasien dibagi 2 kelompok, yakni kelompok I dengan Cn ::; 4 ml/mmHg dan kelompok II dengan Cn > 4 ml/mmHg. Pemeriksaan ekokardiografi dengan Vivid 7 dilakukan sebelum KMTP dan dalam 24 sampai 72 jam setelah KMTP. Cn ditentukan dengan persamaan : Cn = 1,270 (MV A I E-wave downslope), dan tekanan sistolik arteri pulmonal (sPAP) =Tricuspid valve gradient (TVG) + 10 mmHg. Hasil : Dari 194 subjek yang menjalani KMTP didapatkan sampel 30 orang yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Proporsi kasus SM pada penelitian ini lebih banyak pada perempuan yaitu 70% dan usia rata- rata 36 tahun. Perbandingan sPAP pada kedua kelompok, baik sebelum ( 66,8 ± 21,7 mmHg V s 71,5 ± 31,5 mmHg, P = 0,64) maupun setelah KMTP ( 49,3 ± 10,8 mmHg Vs 56,4 ± 19,9 mmHg, P = 0,31) tidak berbeda bermakna, demikian pula besamya penurunan sPAP setelah KMTP pada kedua kelompok tidak berbeda bermakna ( 17,7 ± 15 mmHg Vs 15,7 ± 15,8 mmHg, P = 0,60). Kesimpulan : Kelenturan atrioventrikular (Cn) tidak mempengaruhi tekanan arteri pulmonal dan besamya perubahan tekanan arteri pulmonal segera setelah KMTP.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation beetwen Cn with systolic artery pulmonal and the magnitude of decreasing systolic pulmonary pressure after balloon mitral valvuloplasty. Background : In patients with mitral stenosis (MS), the increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and severity of the clinical symptom are not only related to the mitral valve area and mitral vave gradient, but also related to the atrioventricular compliance (Cn). Methods : This is a cross sectional study in Thirty patients with severe mitral stenosis underwent Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasthy (BMV) procedure in NCCHKfrom January 2008 until October 20 I I. The patients were divided into two group, group I with Cn ~ 4 ml/mmHg and group II with Cn > 4 ml/mmHg. Echocardiograpy was done before BMV and 24 unti/72 hours after BMVwith vivid 7. Cn was derivedfrom the equation that has been previously validated (ie, Cn = I270 x [MV area by PHT I mitral Ewave downslope] and systolic pulmonary artery pressure(sPAP) = Tricuspid valve gradient (TV G) + I 0 mmHg. Results : There were I94 patients underwent BMV, but only 30 patients meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The women proportion were 70% and average of ages were 36 years old. The systolic pulmonary artery pressure in both group were not difference before ( 66,8 ± 2I, 7 mmHg Vs 7I,5 ± 3I,5 mmHg, P = 0,64) and after BMV ( 49,3 ± I0,8 mmHg Vs 56,4 ± I9,9 mmHg, P = 0,3I) and also the magnitude of decreasing systolic pulmonary artery pressure after BMV not difference between the groups. Conclusion: In patients with severe mitral stenosis, atrioventricular compliance was not affected systolic pulmonary artery pressure before and after BMV nor the magnitude of systolic pulmonaty artery pressure after BMV."

"Latar Belakang: Kondisi MS akan menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan tekanan atrium kiri secara progresif dan menyebabkan remodelling serta dilatasi atrium kiri. Proses ini akan berakhir dengan penurunan komplians dari atrium kiri dan menyebabkan perubahan secara morfologis dan fungsional. Beberapa studi menunjukkan pengukuran Strain atrium kiri pada pasca tindakan balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) menunjukkan perbaikan yang bermakna. Namun belum ada yang menilai hubungan antara perubahan Strain atrium kiri dengan perbaikan kapasitas fungsional pada pasien MS pasca tindakan BMV.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara perubahan Strain atrium kiri dengan perubahan kapasitas fungsional pada pasien MS pasca tindakan BMV.Metode: Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi dengan one group pre-post design. Penelitian ini menggunakan data pemeriksaan ekokardiografi dan data kapasitas fungsional pasien mitral stenosis yang dilakukan tindakan BMV pada Maret 2019 hingga April 2020. Dilakukan pengukuran strain atrium kiri dengan metode speckle tracking echocardiography. Data sebelum dan sesudah BMV dianalisis untuk mencari hubungan variabel terhadap perubahan kapasitas fungsional.Hasil: Pasca tindakan BMV, terjadi perbaikan signifikan kapasitas fungsional yang ditandai dengan perbaikan median lama latihan (241 (18 – 1080) ke 606 (80 – 1900) detik, p <0.0001) dan perbaikan median nilai VO2max estimasi (18,8 (10,2 – 51,4) ke 33(12,6-83,2) mlO2/kg/menit, p <0.0001). Strain atrium kiri mengalami perubahan signifikan pasca tindakan BMV dari median 8(2-23)% ke 11(4-27)%. Dari uji korelasi didapatkan bahwa pre-MVG (r 0,23, adjusted R2 = 4,9%) berkorelasi terhadap perubahan kapasitas fungsional. Pada analisis bivariat dan multivariat didapatkan bahwa perubahan strain atrium kiri tidak berhubungan dengan perubahan kapasitas fungsional. Nilai pra MVA >1 cm2 (OR 7,37, IK 95% 1,0-54,35; p = 0,05) pra MVG > 10 mmHg (OR 6,6, IK 95% 1,71-25,5; p = 0,006) dan pra mPAP < 25 mmHg (OR 5,96, IK 95% 1,37-25,9; p = 0,017) berkorelasi terhadap perbaikan lama latihan pasca tindakan BMV.Kesimpulan: Perubahan strain atrium kiri tidak berhubungan dengan perubahan kapasitas fungsional pada pasien MS pasca tindakan BMV.

Background: MS conditions will cause a progressive increase in left atrial pressure, remodelling and left atrial dilatation. This process will end with a decrease of left atrial compliance, causing morphological and functional changes. Several studies have shown that left atrial strain measurements after the BMV procedure showed significant improvement. However, no study has assessed the relationship between changes in left atrial strain and improvements in functional capacity in MS patients after the BMV procedure.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between left atrial strain changes and functional capacity changes in MS patients after BMV procedures

Method: This is a one group pre-post design using retrospective data. This study used echocardiographic and functional capacity data of mitral stenosis patients who underwent BMV procedures from March 2019 to April 2020. Left atrial strain was measured using the speckle tracking echocardiography method. Data before and after BMV were analyzed to find the association of variables to changes in functional capacity.

Results: After the BMV procedure, there was a significant improvement in functional capacity as indicated by an improvement in the median length of exercise (241 (18 – 1080) to 606 (80 – 1900) seconds, p <0.0001) and an improvement in the median estimated VO2max value (18.8 (10.2). – 51.4) to 33(12.6-83.2) mlO2/kg/min, p < 0.0001). The left atrial strain underwent a significant change after the BMV procedure from a median of 8(2-23)% to 11(4-27)%. From the correlation test it was found that pre-MVG (r 0.23, adjusted R2 = 4.9%) correlated with changes in functional capacity. In bivariate and multivariate analysis, it was found that changes in left atrial strain were not associated with changes in functional capacity. Pre MVA value >1 cm2 (OR 7.37, CI 95% 1.0-54.35; p = 0.05) pre MVG > 10 mmHg (OR 6.6, CI 95% 1.71-25.5 ; p = 0.006) and pre mPAP < 25 mmHg (OR 5.96, CI 95% 1.37-25.9; p = 0.017) correlated with the improvement in duration of exercise after the BMV action.

Conclusion: Changes in left atrial strain are not associated with changes in functional capacity in MS patients after the BMV procedure."

ABSTRACTBackground. The prevalence of Mitral stenosis (MS) remains significant in developingcountries related to prevalence of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD).In moderate-severe MSpatients enormous increase in turbulent region and shear stress causing dysfunction ofvascular endothelial, as consequence it increase the risk of thromboembolic complication. Pselectinis an adhesion molecule that play role in inflammation process, it express rapidly inminutes. Left Atrial Volume Index (LAVI) is superior parameter compare with otherechocardiography two dimension method to assess left atrial function.Methods. Study was designed as cross-sectional study involving 20 MS moderate-severepatients with MVA< 1.5 cm2 who performed successful Percutaneous transvenous BalloonMitral Valvulotomy (PBMV). Samples were taken consecutively from May 2013 to October2013 at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Jakarta. Blood samples of Pselectinwere collected pre and post PBMV. The result was statistically analyzed by usingechocardiography data of LAVI prior PBMV to describe any association between expressionof P-selectin and atrial function.Result. In our study, we found no association between LAVI and expression of P-selectinlevel pre and post PBMV MS patient. This data describe in each of value of pre PBMV β= -0.103 (95% CI -0.251,0.045) p=0.16 and post PBMV β= 0.009 (95% CI -0.155,0.172) p=0.91After we performed linear regression with adjusted confounding variable including sex, age,and atrial fibrillation, still we found no association between LAVI and P-selectin level. Thisdata describe in each of value of pre PBMV β= -0.154 (95% CI -0.340,0.032) p=0.09 andpost PBMV β= -0.049 (95% CI -0.250,0.152) p=0.61.Conclusion. We found there is no difference in P-selectin level pre and post PBMV. There isno association between poor LAVI value and expression of P-selectin pre and post PBMV inMS."

"[ABSTRAKLatar belakang : Stenosis mitral (SM) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan yang penting di Indonesia.

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.

"Latar belakang: Stenosis mitral SM akibat penyakit jantung reumatik PJR memiliki disfungsi sistolik ventrikel kiri VK secara subklinis bila menggunakan parameter global longitudinal strain GLS walaupun rata-rata pasien memiliki fraksi ejeksi FE baik. Pada PJR, inflamasi kronis menyebabkan terjadinya nekrosis fibrinoid, pada akhirnya menjadi fibrosis miokard. Berdasarkan teori ini, fibrosis miokard merupakan salah satu dasar teori yang mendasari disfungsi sistolik VK pada SM. Namun hingga kini penelitian yang menilai hubungan ini belum ditemukan.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan GLS sebagai parameter fungsi sistolik dengan volume fibrosis VK pada SM akibat PJR.Metode: Studi potong lintang melibatkan pasien SM akibat PJR akan menjalani pemeriksaan MRI jantung untuk mengevaluasi fibrosis miokard dengan metode LGE dan ekokardiografi untuk menilai GLS. Kedua data diolah menggunakan analisa korelasi.Hasil: Terdapat 36 pasien subjek penelitian. Volume fibrosis miokard rata-rata VK 4,9 2,7 . Walaupun FE baik median 62 , nilai GLS menurun dibandingkan nilai rujukan normal 13,5 3,9 . GLS memiliki korelasi sedang dengan volume fibrosis VK r = -0,432; p 0,009 . Tidak ada korelasi antara GLS dengan area katup mitral maupun gradien tekanan transmitral rata-rata. Tidak didapatkan juga korelasi antara FE dengan volume fibrosis.Kesimpulan: GLS memiliki korelasi sedang dengan volume fibrosis VK pada pasien SM akibat PJR.

Abstract Background. The correlation between the extent of myocardial fibrosis and subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in rheumatic mitral stenosis MS has not been widely studied. We sought to evaluate the correlation between the extent of LV myocardial fibrosis quantified by Late Gadolinium Enhancement LGE CMR and Global Longitudinal Strain GLS by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography STE in these patients.Methods. We prospectively evaluated 36 consecutive rheumatic MS patients who were planing to undergo intervention in our center. Then we evaluate the correlation between the extent of LV myocardial fibrosis quantified by Late Gadolinium Enhancement LGE CMR and Global Longitudinal Strain GLS by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography STE Results. Thirty six patients showed mean of LGE was 4,9 2,7 . Despite good ejection fraction median 59.5 , IQR 28 68 , the LV GLS was reduced mean 13.5 3.9 compared to normal reference value. There was moderate correlation between GLS and LGE r 0,432 p 0,009 . There are no correlations between GLS with mitral valve area MVA and mean mitral valve gradient mean MVG . No significant correlation was found between ejection fraction and LGE.Conclusion. There was moderate correlation between LGE and GLS in patients with rheumatic MS.

"Latar belakang. Hipertensi pulmonal merupakan salah satu komplikasi jangka panjang pada stenosis mitral, dan meningkatkan morbiditas serta mortalitas. Peningkatan resistensi vaskular paru terjadi pada fase reaktif hipertensi pulmonal akibat stenosis mitral. Pada hipertensi pulmonal terjadi gangguan keseimbangan sistem otonom, yang berpengaruh pada perubahan laju jantung saat uji latih. Laju jantung pemulihan dihitung dari selisih laju jantung maksimal saat uji latih dengan laju jantung menit pertama fase pemulihan dipengaruhi oleh reaktivasi sistem parasimpatis saat akhir latihan, dan merupakan prediktor mortalitas jangka panjang. Metode. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 20 pasien stenosis mitral bermakna dengan hipertensi pulmonal yang menjalani pembedahan katup mitral di Pusat Jantung Nasional Harapan Kita dari bulan Agustus hingga November 2014. Dilakukan pengukuran resistensi vaskular paru sebelum operasi dan sebelum pasien dipulangkan. Laju jantung pemulihan diambil dari uji treadmil pada akhir program rehabilitasi kardiak fase 2. Dilakukan analisa statistik untuk mencari hubungan antara resistensi vaskular paru dengan laju jantung pemulihan saat latihan pasca operasi katup mitral. Hasil. Laju jantung pemulihan yang diukur pada menit pertama fase pemulihan uji treadmill adalah 11,5 + 5,9 kali per menit, dan perubahan resistensi vaskular paru pre dan paska operasi sebesar 1,55 + 2,1 WU. Laju jantung pemulihan menit pertama memiliki korelasi sedang dengan perubahan resistensi vaskular paru (r 0,537; p 0,015) . Analisa regresi linier laju jantung pemulihan menit pertama dengan perubahan resistensi vaskular paru pre dan paska operasi mendapatkan nilai koefisien β 1,52 dengan IK 95% 0,338-2,706 dengan nilai p 0,015. Analisa bivariat menyimpulkan bahwa digoxin merupakan variabel perancu (p 0,048). Analisa regresi linier antara perubahanresistensi vaskular paru pasca operasidengan laju jantung pemulihan menit pertama(adjusted analysis sesuai variable perancu)menunjukkan nilai koefisien β 1,244 dengan IK 95% 0,032-2,457 dengan nilai p 0,045. Kesimpulan. Perubahan resistensi vaskular paru pada pasien stenosis mitral dengan hipertensi pulmonal yang menjalani pembedahan berhubungan dengan laju jantung pemulihan menit pertama saat uji latih jantung.

Background. Pulmonary hypertension is one of the long-term complication of mitral stenosis, resulting increase of morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is increase in reactive phase of pulmonary hypertension due to mitral stenosis. There is impaired autonom regulation following pulmonary hypertension, affecting heart rate changes during exercise test. Heart rate recovery (HRR) is defined as the difference between heart rate at peak exercise and 1 minute of recovery phase. It is affected by reactivation of parasympathetic system after cessation of exercise, and has been known as a long-term mortality predictor.

Method. A study of 20 patients with significant mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension who underwent mitral valve surgery in National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita was done from August to November 2014. PVR data from echocardiography was measured before surgery and before the patients were discharged. HRR data was taken from the treadmill test at the end of phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation program. Statistical analysis is done to explore the correlation between pulmonary vascular resistance and heart rate recovery after exercise test.

Result. Mean heart rate recovery after exercise test is 11,5 + 5,9 beat perminute, and changes of pulmonary vascular resistance after surgery is 1,55+2,1 WU. There was a correlation between change of PVR and heart rate recovery (r 0,537; p 0,015). Linear regression analysis of the change of PVR and heart rate recovery (unadjusted analysis) showed β coefficient 1,52 with 95% confidence interval 0,338-2,706 and p 0,015. Adjusted analysis to confounding variabel showed β coefficient 1,244 with 95% CI 0,032-2,457 and p 0,045.

Conclusion. Changes of pulmonary vascular resistance after mitral valve surgery in mitral stenosis pastient is positively correlated with heart rate recovery during exercise test."

"Latar belakang. Timbulnya stasis darah dan pembesaran atrium kiri menyebabkan peningkatan angka kejadian trombus di atrium kiri dan apendiks atrium kiri (Left Atrial Appendage-LAA) pada SM. Diameter atrium kiri yang membesar disebutkan sebagai faktor terjadinya pembentukan LASEC dan meningkatkan angka kejadian tromboemboli. Selain itu adanya stasis darah yang dibuktikan dengan penurunan ejeksi fraksi LAA dan kecepatan aliran darah LAA dapat mencetuskan timbulnya trombus. Perubahan moluker adhesi sICAM-1 dan sVCAM-1 berhubungan dengan kejadian tromboemboli. Tetapi apakah terdapat hubungan antara peran hemodinamik, terutama terhadap diameter, fraksi ejeksi dan kecepatan aliran darah pada LAA dengan kadar molekul adhesi seperti sICAM-1 dan sVCAM-1 belum terjawab. Metode. Pasien SM derajat sedang-berat (tanpa adanya regurgitasi mitral signifikan) yang menjalani pemeriksan ekokardiografi transesofageal diikutsertakan secara konsekutif sejak Januari-April 2014. Penilaian fungsi apendiks atrium kiri dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan transesofageal ekokardiografi. Kadar sICAM-1 dan sVCAM-1 dari vena perifer diukur dengan teknik enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hasil. Sebanyak 26 subyek penelitian dengan rerata usia 38,92±11,93 tahun, 65,3% berjenis kelamin perempuan, dan 46,1% memiliki irama fibrilasi atrium. Dengan sampel tersebut, didapatkan tidak ada hubungan antara komponen fungsi apendiks atrium kiri, baik diameter, ejeksi fraksi, dan kecepatan aliran darah LAA dengan kadar sICAM-1. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara fungsi LAA pada variabel diameter dengan kadar sVCAM-1. Terdapat hubungan terbalik antara ejeksi fraksi LAA dengan kadar sVCAM-1 (-0,21, p=0.038, 95%KI -0,41- -0,01) dan hubungan terbalik antara kecepatan aliran darah LAA dengan kadar sVCAM-1 (-0,29, p=0,048, 95%KI -0,59- -0,003). Kesimpulan. Semakin rendah ejeksi fraksi dan kecepatan aliran darah LAA maka semakin tinggi kadar sVCAM-1.

Background: Blood stasis and left atrial enlargement increase the incidence of thrombus in the left atrium and left atrial appendage (LAA). Enlargement of left atrial diameter is a factor for LASEC formation and increase the incidence of thromboembolism. Blood stasis which evidenced by a decrease in ejection fraction and LAA blood flow velocity can trigger the presence of thrombus. Changes in soluble adhesion molecules sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 associated with thromboembolic events. But relationship between the role of hemodynamics, especially the ejection fraction and blood flow velocity in the LAA with the levels of adhesion molecules such as sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 is not well understood.

Methods: Patient with moderate-severe Mitral Stenosis (in the absence of significant mitral regurgitation) underwent transesophageal echocardiography from January to April 2014. Levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 from peripheral vein were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent technique assay.

Results: A total of 26 subjects with a mean age of 38.92 ± 11.93 years, 65.3% female, and 46.1% had atrial fibrillation. We found no association between components of left atrial appendage function: diameter, ejection fraction and blood flow velocity of LAA with sICAM-1 levels. There was no relationship between the LAA function in the variable diameter of LAA with sVCAM-1 levels. There is an inverse relationship between ejection fraction of LAA and levels of sVCAM-1 (-0.21, p = 0.038, 95% KI -0,41- -0,01) and an inverse association between LAA blood flow velocity and levels of sVCAM-1 (-0 , 29, p = 0.048, 95% KI -0.59 - 0.003).

Conclusion: Low ejection fraction of LAA is associated with higher the levels of sVCAM-1. Low LAA blood flow velocity is associated with higher the levels of sVCAM-1."
