Takikardia Ventrikel Berulang Pasca Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (Cabg): Laporan Kasus Berbasis Bukti, Ika Prasetya Wijaya, Simon Salim, Audina Dhiya Nabila

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the treatment of choice for patients with complex multivessel coronary artery disease but carries a risk of serious perioperative complications, including ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT). Although VT following CABG is rare, it is potentially life-threatening and often results from multiple interrelated factors. This report presents a case of recurrent ventricular tachycardia after CABG and to highlight the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, and evidence-based management strategies aimed at preventing adverse outcomes.We report a 54-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, and severe left ventricular dysfunction who underwent urgent CABG for three-vessel …

Introduction. Liver cirrhosis is a chronic condition associated with severe complications, including esophageal variceal bleeding, which carries high morbidity and mortality rates. Approximately 60% of patients with cirrhosis experience recurrent bleeding within one year, with a mortality rate of 20–60% within six weeks after the initial bleeding episode. Therefore, identifying predictors of recurrent bleeding is essential for improving preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify predictors of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis and to develop a predictive model.

Methods. This retrospective study included 220 patients with liver cirrhosis and a history of esophageal variceal …

Right heart failure is a clinical syndrome that is influenced by various factors. The incidence of heart failure reaches 5/1,000 population, while the prevalence of heart failure reaches 1-2% of the adult population. Management of the main etiology of heart failure is the main therapy. In some cases, hyperthyroidism is an indirect cause of heart failure, especially in right heart failure. Hyperthyroidism can cause reversible pulmonary hypertension which causes right heart failure, although the underlying mechanism is uncertain at the moment. This study reports a 46-year-old woman who was diagnosed with right heart failure and also had hyperthyroidism. In this …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and has been long recognized as a cause for atrial thrombus formation leading to cardioembolic stroke. However, recent studies reveal that the relationship between atrial fibrillation and stroke is an association rather than a temporal relationship. Left atrial thrombus formation is associated with vascular risk factor, atrial remodeling, and thrombogenesis. Various atrial electrical and structural markers of atrial myopathy have been linked to ischaemic stroke, even in the absence of AF. In addition to the CHA2DS2-VASc score as a consideration for anticoagulant administration, accurate atrial myopathy markers are needed to allow early …

Spondyloarthritis is a group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases characterized by shared clinical features, genetic predispositions, and pathogenic mechanisms. Without appropriate management, it carries a risk of various complications. We report the case of a young male patient with a one-year history of nephrotic syndrome prior to admission, presenting with chronic polyarthritis. Initially, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with renal and musculoskeletal involvement was suspected, although SLE is relatively uncommon in young males. However, based on the clinical presentation of arthritis, imaging findings of sacroiliitis, and the absence of diagnostic criteria supporting SLE, the patient was subsequently diagnosed with peripheral spondyloarthritis and …

Introduction. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by persistent albuminuria and a progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), making it a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is implicated in the pathogenesis of DKD, being overexpressed in the kidneys and contributing to increased vascular permeability, inflammation, and fibrosis. Albuminuria, an early indicator of renal damage in DKD, is a strong predictor of CKD progression and cardiovascular events. The urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is the recommended test for detecting and monitoring albuminuria. …
