"Pericardial effusion is the presence of fluid in the pericardial cavity due to secretion from the visceral pericardium. II may be caused by virus, bacteria, fungi, tuberculosis, post-inflammation conditions, auto-reactive processes, neoplasm, renal failure, aortal dissection, and hyperthyroidism. Clinical symptoms may take the form of difficulty breathing, orthopnea, chest pain, dysphagia, hiccups, dysphonia, nausea, and bloated abdomen. Physical examination may portray paradoxal pulse, tachyp-nea, tachycardia, hypotension, and peripheral edema. Radiological findings include enlarged heart, and a heart configuration resembling a water jug. Electrogradiography may demonstrate low voltage, and flat T.We report a case of a 25 year-old male who was admitted with a complaint of difficulty breathing since four days prior to hospitalization. The difficulty breathing was felt since eight months prior to admission. He had undergone aspiration of fluid from the heart, and received anti-tuberculous treatment. There was cough, while sputum, and night sweats. The patient also suffered from malignancy, and was scheduled for chemotherapy"

"Background: Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) is the most commonly used questionnaire and it has a good EMPRO (Evaluating the Measurement of Patient-Reported Outcomes) score. The MLHFQ has been adapted and used by various countries worldwide. However, to be utilized in Indonesia, it needs validity and reliability studies. This study aimed to obtain a valid and reliable Indonesian version of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) so that it can be used in Indonesia.Methods: the present study was a cross sectional study with 85 subjects (mean age 58 (SD 11) years; 55% subjects were male) who had chronic heart failure and was treated at the outpatient clinic of cardiology in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. Validity of the MLHFQ was assessed by evaluating the construct validity using multitrait-multimethod analysis and external validity was evaluated by compairing the MLHFQ with the SF-36 questionnaire. Reliability was assessed using Cronbachs and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).Results: the Indonesian version of the MLHFQ had moderate-to-strong correlation between domains and items in questionnaire (r: 0.571-0.748; p<0.01) and it had moderate negative correlation with SF-36 questionnaire (r -0.595; p<0.001). The Cronbach α of Indonesian version of MLHFQ was 0.887; while the ICCs was 0.918.Conclusion: the Indonesian version of MLHFQ has good validity and reliability to asses the quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure in Indonesia."

"Telah dilakukan penelitian retrospektif terhadap pasien infark miokard akut (IMA) yang dirawat di ICCU RSUPN Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta antara Januari 1994 sampai Desember 1999. Dari 513 pasien yang dirawat dengan IMA, 227 pasien adalah usia lanjut, di mana 35,2 % dari mereka adalah wanita. Sebagian besar IMA usia lanjut mengeluh nyeri dada yang khas seperti pada pada kelompok usia muda. Pasien IMA usia lanjut cenderung terlambat datang ke rumah sakit dan lebih banyak menderita IMA gelombang Q. Faktor risiko diabetes melitus dan hipertensi lebih sering dijumpai pada usia lanjut. Prevalensi fibrilasi atrial dan mortalitas lebih tinggi pada usia lanjut. (Med J Indones 2003; 12: 229-35)

A retrospective study were performed in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that hospitalized in ICCU Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital, Jakarta during the period of January 1994 until Decmber 1999. There were 513 patients hospitalized with MCI, 227 patients (44.2%) were classified as elderly, and 35.2% of them were female. Most of the elderly AMI patients reported typical chest pain just like their younger counterparts. Elderly AMI patients tend to come later to the hospital, and more Q-wave myocardial infarction were identified compared to non-Q-wave myocardial infarction. Risk factors of diabetes mellitus and hypertension were more common among the elderly. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation and the mortality rate were higher among elderly AMI patients.
