"Coronary disease is the biggest killer and cause of disability in Europe and the United States. One in 12 men die from heart disease before reaching the age of 65. When the diagnosis has been made however, people are often too frightened or too anxious to want to find out how the disease occurred and how it could have been prevented. At the same time, many pressing questions arise that call out for clear answers: Will the patient need surgery? How life threatening is the condition? In the event of a heart attack, is another one imminent? Those seeking answers often find much of the available advice is superficial and even contradictory. This book provides an authoritative and reassuring account of what can go wrong with the heart, what can be done to prevent problems, what kinds of people are most likely to suffer from coronary disease, and what treatments are available and what they involve. The book also explores the future of this disease and what is being done to reduce or even eliminate its presence as one of the world's leading health problems. It has been written specifically for patients and their families, and for health-conscious individuals who are interested in detailed, frequently hard-to-find information. The book will also be of interest to nurses and other health-care professionals who care for patients with heart disease."

"The book records the development of the British Heart Foundation from the preliminary discussions of the British Cardiac Society which led to the first meeting of the Foundation Committee in 1959, up to the end of 1988, when it had become the leading charity in Britain dedicated to funding research into heart disease, with an annual income of over twenty–five million pounds"

"Aterosklerosis sebagai penyebab terjadinya PJK merupakan proses multifaktorial karena banyak sekali faktor-faktor yang menyebabkannya dengan mekanisme yang saling terkait. Saat ini proses aterosklerosis dianggap sebagai proses inflamasi. Inflamasi terbukti berperan penting pada inisiasi, progresi maupun destabilisasi plak aterosklerosis. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) merupakan salah satu petanda inflamasi yang penting pada penyakit jantung koroner (PJK) yang berhubungan dengan tingkat keparahan aterosklerosis, iskemi miokardium dan nekrosis miokardium. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan membandingkan kadar hs-CRP pada pasien sindroma koroner akut (SKA), PJK kronik dan bukan PJK, serta untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar enzim CKMB pada pasien infark miokard akut (IMA). Penelitian bersifat observasional deskriptif dan analitik dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar hs-CRP dengan metode chemiluminescent pada 21 pasien SKA, 20 pasien PJK kronik dan 20 bukan PJK. Didapatkan kadar hs-CRP rerata pada pasien SKA, PJK kronik dan bukan PJK sebesar 8,40 (SD 5,53) mg/l, 2,81 (SD 2,09) mg/l dan 1,07 (SD 0,81) mg/l. Analisis statistik didapatkan perbedaan kadar hs-CRP yang bermakna antara pasien SKA, PJK kronik dan bukan PJK (p 0,000). Kadar hs-CRP mempunyai korelasi positif yang bermakna dengan kadar enzim CKMB pada pasien IMA (p 0,004). Sebagai kesimpulan, kadar hs-CRP pada pasien SKA secara bermakna lebih tinggi dibanding PJK kronik dan bukan PJK. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara peningkatan kadar hs-CRP dengan peningkatan kadar enzim CKMB. (Med J Indones 2004; 13: 102-6)

Coronary heart disease (CHD) due to atherosclerosis is a multifactorial process with multiple interdependent factors. At present time, atherosclerosis is considered to be an inflammatory process. It has been proven that inflammation plays a mayor role in the initiation, progression as well as the destabilitation of the atherosclerosis plaque. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is one of the most important inflammatory marker in CHD and directly related to the extent and severity of atherosclerosis, extent of myocardial ischemia and myocardial necrosis. The purpose of this study is to determine hs-CRP levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), chronic CHD and non CHD. And, to determine the correlation between hs-CRP levels and CKMB enzyme level in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This is a descriptive observational analytic study with cross sectional design. hs-CRP levels were measured by using chemiluminescent method on 21 ACS patients, 20 chronic CHD patients and 20 non CHD patients. The mean hs-CRP level in ACS, chronic CHD and non CHD patients were respectively 8.40 (SD 5.53) mg/l, 2.81 (SD 2.09) mg/l and 1.07 (SD 0.81) mg/l. A statistically significant difference in hs-CRP level was found between ACS, chronic CHD and non CHD (p = 0.000 ). A positive correlation was found between hs-CRP level and CKMB enzyme level in AMI patients (p = 0.004). In conclusion hs-CRP level is consistently higher in patients with ACS compared to patients with chronic CHD and non CHD. A positive correlation was found between the increased level of hs-CRP and CKMB enzyme level. (Med J Indones 2004; 13: 102-6)"

"Co-occurrence of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) and phaeochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) are rare, although some cases have been reported. We report a case of left paraganglioma in a 20-year-old lady with an underlying CCHD who underwent palliative Glenn shunt, subsequently developed polycythaemia and cavernous sinus thrombosis presented with palpitation, sweating, headache and hypertension of 3-months duration at the age of 17. The abdominal CT scan revealed an enhancing left paraaortic mass measuring 5.2 cm x 4.4 cm x 3.8 cm. A 24-hour urine catecholamine demonstrated raised noradrenaline level to six times upper limit of normal and hence diagnosis of left sympathetic (sPGL) was made. In view of the delayed diagnosis and significant morbidity associated with her condition, surgical treatment is no longer an option. Therefore, vigilant screening and early treatment of PCC-PGL in patients with CCHD are crucial in order to avoid significant morbidity and ensure a good quality of life."

"Latar belakang: Kekurangan gizi merupakan penyebab umum morbiditas pada anak dengan penyakit jantung bawaan (PJB). Data dari negara berkembang memperlihatkan prevalensi malnutrisi penderita dengan PJB sebelum dioperasi mencapai 45%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil anhropometrik dan prevalensi kekurangan gizi pada anak dengan PJB dengan melakukan pengukuran anthropometrik.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan rancang bangun cross sectional pada anak berusia 0-2 tahun dengan PJB di RSCM. Pengukuran antropometri (berat badan, panjang badan, lingkar kepala) dilakukan pada seluruh pasien. Kekurangan gizi, failure to thrive/FTT, perawakan pendek, mikrosefali dinilai dengan menggunakan rekomendasi WHO tahun 2006, berupa perhitungan z-skor BB/PB, BB/U di 2 titik, PB/U dan LK/U < -2 SD.Hasil: Total subyek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 95 orang, 73 orang dengan asianotik dan 22 orang dengan PJB sianotik. Prevalensi kekurangan gizi sebesar 51,1% dengan 22,3% diantaranya adalah gizi buruk. FTT terdapat pada 64,9%, perawakan pendek pada 49,5% dan mikrosefali pada 37% pasien. FTT ditemukan lebih banyak pada pasien dengan lesi asianotik (72,2%) dibandingkan dengan lesi sianotik (42,9). Pada lesi asianotik, berat badan lebih dipengaruhi daripada panjang badan (72,2% dengan 49,3%). Pasien dengan lesi sianotik, berat dan panjang badan akan dipengaruhi secara seimbang (42,9% dengan 54.5%). Konsultasi diet diberikan kepada pasien dengan kekurangan gizi. Terapi obat-obatan, intervensi transkateter atau bedah diindikasikan pada pasien tertentu.Kesimpulan: Prevalensi FTT lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kekurangan gizi pada anak dengan kelainan jantung kongenital. FTT ditemukan lebih banyak pada pasien dengan lesi asianotik. Pada lesi asianotik, berat badan lebih dipengaruhi daripada panjang badan. Pada lesi asianotik, berat badan lebih dipengaruhi daripada panjang badan.

AbstractBackground: Undernutrition is a common cause of morbidity in children with CHD. Previous data from developing country showed prevalence of preoperative undernutrition in children with CHD was up to 45%. The aim of this study are to determine the anthropometric profi les and prevalence of undernutrition in children with CHD by using the anthropometric measurement.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in children aged 0-2 years old with CHD in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital. All patients underwent an anthropometric evaluation (weight, length and head circumference) at presentation. Undernutrition, failure to thrive /FTT, short stature and microcephaly were determined according to WHO, weight-forlength, weight-for-age at 2 points, length-for-age, head circumference-for-age z-score < -2SD accordingly.Results: We had total of 95 patients, 73 patients with acyanotic and 22 patients with cyanotic lesions. Prevalence of undernutrition in CHD was 51.1%, with 22.3% severe undernutrition. FTT was found in 64.9%, short stature in 49.5% and microcephaly in 37% patients. FTT was found higher in acyanotic (72.2%) compared to cyanotic lesions (42.9%). In acyanotic, weight was affected more than length (72.2% vs 49.3%). In cyanotic, weight and length affected equally (42.9% vs 54.5%). Diet counseling were done in patients with undernutrition. Medicines, transcatheter or surgery intervention were indicated in selected patients.Conclusions: Prevalence of FTT was higher than undernutrition in children with CHD. FTT was found higher in acyanotic lesions. In acyanotic, weight was affected more than length. In cyanotic, weight and length affected equally. "

"Standard diagnoses and treatment fail to prevent and predict about 60 per cent of all heart attacks. This approach to preventing and reversing heart disease involves cutting-edge medical tests, followed by individualized treatment plans. The book includes four specific diets which will accommodate the needs of most readers; a variety of exercise programmes, with tips for specific problems; and a thorough discussion of prescription drugs and over-the-counter supplements with an analysis of who will benefit most from which. The "one size fits all" school of treatment is firmly rejected."
