a clinician’s physical examination. In our opinion, the appreciation of cardiac anatomy and hemodynamics by bedside echocardiography makes a physician’s clinical evaluation,
including physical examination, more relevant to the care of patients. For all physicians who care for patients with a cardiovascular problem, it is essential to know how
echocardiographic images are obtained, what type of information echocardiography can provide, and how it should be used for management.

ABSTRACT I:
Chest imaging is important evaluation that supports the diagnosis procedure. Student should be able to evaluate chest x-rays, including evaluation on heart, lung,
diaphragm, skeleton and soft tissues. After evaluation, student should be able to write down the result in a given format. Some emergency case, need rapid chest x-rays
evaluation. By this training we hope that the student will be able to do such important skill. There are steps in evaluating the chest x-rays, it is systematic steps. The student should
be mastered. For cardiovascular system the chest imaging will be posterolateral, lateral, oblique projection. Student should evaluate the heart size; identify any enlargement, the
condition of the lung – any edema, arterial and venous hypertension.
The imaging investigation of the heart may be considered under the following: 1. Chest X-ray
2. Computed tomography CT-scan 3. Magnetic resonance imaging MRI
4. Echocardiography 5. Angiocardiography
6. Cardiac catheterization 7. Isotope scanning
Chest X-ray remain the valuable cardiac investigation in clinical practice. Radiologic method used in the roentgen cardiac examination:
1. Posteroanterior projection, PAAP 2. Lateral projection
3. Right anterior oblique projection RAO 4. Left anterior oblique projection LAO
Increase in cardiac size is the most consistent indication of cardiac disease
ABSTRACT II:
Physiologic parameters will be change during activity, such as heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output, blood pressure, peripheral resistance, and oxygen
concentration. Some or those parameters could be measure with a very simple technique

by calculating the arterial pulse, while others could only be measure using specific tools such as ergo meter, ECG, and treadmill. In practice, we could measure the cardiovascular
functional capacity by using arterial pulse method, pulse meter, and ECG. Stress test or exercise test should be done for patient with heart disease in special place,
in the laboratory. The purposes of stress test are to make quantification of heart disease suffered by the patient and to evaluate the functional capacity of the patient. The arterial
pulse in rest condition will reflect the health status of the patient. The working arterial pulse will reflect the workload, and the recovery pulse rate will also reflect the fitness
status of the patient. We will use the Karvonen Formula to calculate the heart rate limit on stress test. The ten pulse method is the method for calculating the arterial pulse during
activity and recovery period.

ABSTRACT I:
Congenital Heart Disease CHD is congenital malformation of the heart including great vessel that was occur since the baby was delivered.
A lot of kind of CHD has been recognized but ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus were the most common finding. Tetralogy of Fallot is the
commonest one of cyanotic CHD. Obstructive lesions pulmonary and aortic stenosis, coarctatio aorta, transposition of great artery, truncus arteriosus, ebstein anomaly, etc
were relatively rare cases.
CHD is really a dynamic disease. In mild and simple lesion such as VSD and ASD were usually asymptomatic and half of those may undergoing spontaneous closure after
two years old. Contrassly in severe cases, sign of heart failure, deep cyanosis, acidosis and other sign express of critical condition may exist in few hours after birth.
Severe pulmonary hypertension is serious longterm complication of large left-to- right shunt. Eisenmenger syndrome may slowly develop when pulmonary artery pressure
higher than systemic pressure. The patient appeared cyanotic who previously non cyanosis.
Left-to-right shunt hemodynamically characterized by increase of pulmonary blood flow but inversely decrease of systemic blood flow. Under these circumstances may lead
to congestive heart failure due to overcompensated of symphatic and humoral stimulation. ToF may characterize by four anatomical abnormalities: VSD, overriding of aorta,
right ventricular hypertrophy, and pulmonary stenosis. Right-to-left shunting was seen in ventricular level. Severity of cyanosis in ToF depends directly on severity of pulmonary
stenosis.
Growth failure is the commonest finding of significant CHD. Screening should be done in patient with failure of growth and development and certain syndromes to evaluate more
carefully in other to be sure is the patient having or not having of CHD.
Diagnosis investigation of CHD was the following: history taking antenatal, natal, and post natal, physical examination, chest radiograph, and ECG. Echocardiography is
needed to evaluate more detail of anatomical defect and cardiac function. Comprehenship management should be performed in nursing the patient. Dental hygiene, nutritional
support, psychological aspect was a part of integrated management beyond of the medical and surgical intervention.
ABSTRACT II:
Valvular Heart Disease VHD is largely variated disease due to anomaly or damaged of one or more cardiac valves.
Anomaly most likely congenital in origin include: Tricuspid Atresia, Tricuspid Steno- insuficiency Ebstein anomaly mitral stenosis, mitral insufficiency, pulmonary or aortic
stenosisatresia.
The most common of VHD is Rheumatic Heart Disease and Mitral Valve Prolaps. Diagnosis investigation like other disease: History taking, physical examination,
chest X-rays, ECG, and other specific laboratory examination. Echocardiography is routine procedure to evaluate more detail anatomical abnormality, severity and cardiac
function. Catheterization is needed when valvuloplasty was indicated. The origin and characteristic of the first and the second heart sound should be
deeply understand before indentified many kind of pathological heart murmur. Location, timing, quality, intensity, and transmission of heart murmur is the basic
auscultative modality to investigate more advance of specific valvular heart disease. Management of VHD medically include: digitalis, diuretics, vasodilator, anti
thrombotic agent, endocarditis prophylaxis, dental hygiene and nutritional support.

Rheumatic fever Rheumatic Heart Disease was agreed worldwide as an autoimmune disease.
Tissue hospes has mimic antigenic structure with certain strain of beta hemolytic streptococcus group a who was infected in the pharing. There is basic pathogenesis
concept in development tissue injury damage of succeptible host. When autoantibody was generated in significant number, cross reaction where streptococci causing agent
were killed naturally by humoral and cellular antibody but on the other hand tissue damage of the hospes was also happen because it was recognized as antigen.
Carditis and arthritis were the most frequent of major symptom of RFRHD. Jones criteria was established as definite diagnosis of rheumatic fever. Evolution was
made from the beginning in 1944 and then revised in 1956, modified in 1965, update in 1992, finally recommendation of WHO in 2002.
Bed rest, eradication of causing agent, inflammatory drug and secondary prophylaxis were the basic management of Rheumatic Fever Rheumatic Heart Disease

ABSTRACT: Coronary artery disease CAD is one of the most important causes of premature
death in the developed world, as well in Indonesia. CAD is regarded as a leading cause of mortality in Province of East Java and Bali, based on the National Household Health
Survey in 1995. Its proportion was reported to be 24.5 of all cause mortality, and its proportion has been significantly increasing since the last 10 years in Indonesia SKRT,
1995. Coronary atherosclerosis, the basic pathogenesis of this disease, is associated with many risk factors such as cigarette smoking, hyperlipidemia, family history,
hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Atherosclerosis is a chronic process initiated by lipid deposition and vascular wall
injury that causes increased endothelial permeability, inflammation and recruitment of monocytes and leucocytes. These cells accumulate oxidized lipids to form macrophages
and foam cells, and lead to the formation of ‘fatty streak’ and then ‘atheroma’. Eventually, all these process becomes ‘atherosclerotic plaque’.
Chronic stable angina is caused by atheroma obstructing coronary artery lumen by more than 70. Acute coronary syndromes ACS = unstable angina and myocardial
infarction arise when atherosclerotic plaque becomes unstable and either ruptures or are eroded. The complicated plaque is a nidus for thrombus formation and may lead to vessel
occlusion.
Stable coronary artery disease is generally characterized by episodes of reversible myocardial demandsupply mismatch, related to ischaemia or hypoxia, which are usually
inducible by exercise, emotion or other stress and reproducible—but, which may also be occurring spontaneously. Such episodes of ischaemiahypoxia are commonly associated
with transient chest discomfort angina pectoris. SCAD also includes the stabilized, often asymptomatic, phases that follow an ACS.
A careful history remains the cornerstone of the diagnosis of chest pain. The characteristics of discomfort-related to myocardial ischaemia angina pectoris may be
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
51
divided into four categories: location, character, duration and relationship to exertion and other exacerbating or relieving factors. The discomfort caused by myocardial ischaemia is
usually located in the chest, near the sternum, but may be felt anywhere from the epigastrium to the lower jaw or teeth, between the shoulder blades or in either arm to the
wrist and fingers. The discomfort is often described as pressure, tightness or heaviness; sometimes strangling, constricting or burning. The duration of the discomfort is brief—no
more than 10 min in the majority of cases and more commonly even minutes or less— but chest pain lasting for seconds is unlikely to be due to angina. An important characteristic is
the relationship to exercise, specific activities or emotional stress. Symptoms classically appear or become more severe with increased levels of exertionand rapidly disappear
within a few minutes when these causal factors abate.
Basic first-line testing in patients with suspected SCAD includes standard laboratory biochemical testing, a resting ECG, possibly ambulatoryECGmonitoring if there
is clinical suspicion that symptoms may be associated with a paroxysmalarrhythmia, resting echocardiography and, in selected patients, a chest X-ray CXR. Such testing can
be done on an outpatient basis. The aim of the management of SCAD is to reduce symptoms and improve prognosis. The management of CAD patients encompasses
lifestyle modification, control of CAD risk factors, evidence-based pharmacological therapy and patient education.
The acute coronary syndromes encompass a spectrum of unstable coronary artery disease that includes unstable angina and myocardial infarction ST segment elevation
myocardial infarction and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. The history, electrocardiogram, and cardiac markers determine the presence and the type of ACS.
Patients with an acute coronary syndrome usually present with prolonged anginal sympoms that occur at rest. Patients with persistent chest pain lasting more than 20
minutes should seek urgent medical attention because of the likelihood of myocardial amage an dinfarction. The electrocardiogram will often show evidence of ischaemia that
classically takes the form of ST segment shifts, T-wave inversion, and new bundle branch block. Cardiac enzymes and markers are the principal determinans that define the
category of the acute coronary syndrome. Patients should be given analgesia, oxygen and transferred to intensive coronary care unit. Treatments consist of aspirin, clopidogrel, low-
molecular weight heparin, beta-blockers and intravenous nitrate infusion. Where available, percutaneous coronary intervention PCI is the treatment of choice. Thrombolytic therapy
is an effective alternative.

ABSTRACT I:
Angina pectoris s characteristically describes as a retrosternal chest discomfort constricting, pressing or tight that has a close relation to physical or emotional stress,
and is rapidly relieved with rest or nitrates. It is commonly, the consequence of obstructive atheromatous coronary artery disease.
The retrosternal discomfort in angina pectoris is caused by myocardial ischemia. The myocardial ischemia is due to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and
demand. Decreased myocardial oxygen supply can result from the presence of flow- limiting chronic stenoses in atherosclerotic coronary arteries, or can occur acutely as a
result of vasospasm or thrombosis. The increased in myocardial oxygen demand may arise as a result of physical exertion or emotional stress, the two common precipitating
factors for angina.
Myocardial oxygen demand is principally determined by heart rate, ventricular contractility, and by myocardial wall tension, the latter in turn is influenced by cardiac

preload ventricular filling pressure, ventricular volume, contractility and afterload. Drugs that ameliorate or prevent angina either decrease myocardial demand by slowing heart
rate, decreasing ventricular contractility, preload and afterload or increase myocardial blood supply by inducing epicardial coronary artery vasodilatation or preventing epicardial
coronary artery vasoconstriction. Three classes of drugs are used in the treatment of angina : nitrates, betablockers and calcium channel blockers.
ABSTRACT II:
Ischemic Heart Disease IHD is the generic designation for a group of pathophysiologically related syndromes resulting from myocardial ischemia. In more than
90 of cases, the cause of myocardial ischemia is reduced blood flow due to obstructive atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries.
Atherosclerosis is characterized by intimal lesions called atheromas also called atheromatous or atherosclerotic plaques that protrude into vessel lumens. Besides
mechanically obstructing blood flow, atherosclerotic plaques can rupture, leading to catastrophic vessel thrombosis; plaques also weaken the underlying media and thereby
lead to aneurysm formation.
Historically, there have been two dominant hypotheses of atherogenesis: one emphasizes intimal cellular proliferation, while the other focuses on the repetitive
formation and organization of thrombi. The contemporary view of atherogenesis incorporates elements of both theories and also integrates the risk factors constitutional
risk factors, modifiable risk factors and additional risk factors.
The key processes in atherosclerosis are intimal thickening and lipid accumulation. Atheromatous plaques impinge on the lumen of the artery and grossly appear white to
yellow; superimposed thrombus over ulcerated plaques is red-brown. Plaques vary from 0.3 to 1.5 cm in diameter but can coalesce to form larger masses. Atherosclerotic plaques
have three principal components: 1 cells, including smooth muscle cells, macrophages, and T cells; 2 ECM, including collagen, elastic fibers, and proteoglycans; and 3
intracellular and extracellular lipid.
Chronic, progressive atherosclerotic narrowing of the epicardial coronary arteries, and variable degrees of superimposed acute plaque change, thrombosis, and vasospasm
will lead to vary clinical coronary syndromes such as angina, myocardial infarction MI, and even sudden death. Some also fall into chronic ischemic heart disease state.
The distribution of myocardial necrosis correlates with the location of the decreased perfusion. Most myocardial infarcts are transmural, in which the ischemic
necrosis involves the full or nearly full thickness of the ventricular wall in the distribution of a single coronary artery. In contrast, a subendocardial nontransmural infarct constitutes
an area of ischemic necrosis limited to the inner one third to one half of the ventricular wall.
The gross and microscopic appearance of an infarct depends on the duration of survival of the patient following the MI. Areas of damage undergo a progressive sequence
of morphologic changes that consist of typical ischemic coagulative necrosis the predominant mechanism of cell death in MI, although apoptosis may also occur, followed
by inflammation and repair that closely parallels tissue responses to injury at other sites.

ABSTRACT I: An arrhythmia or dysrhythmia is a disturbance of the electrical rhythm of the heart. Most
arrhythmias are benign and are only troublesome because of the symptoms they cause. However, some arrhythmias are dangerous and require treatment to prevent
haemodynamic compromise or cardiac arrest, and it is important to recognize these.
In the management of clinical arrhythmias, the physician must evaluate and treat the whole patient, not just the rhythm disturbance. Some arrhythmias are hazardous to the
patient, regardless of the clinical setting e.g., ventricular fibrillation, VF, whereas others are hazardous because of the clinical setting e.g., rapidly conducted atrial fibrillation in a
patient with severe coronary artery stenoses. Patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances can present with various complaints, but symptoms such as palpitations, syncope,
presyncope, or congestive heart failure commonly cause them to seek a physician’s help. Their awareness of palpitations and of a regular or irregular cardiac rhythm varies greatly.
A careful drug and dietary history should also be sought; some nasal decongestants can provoke tachycardia episodes, whereas betaadrenergic blocking eye drops for treatment
of glaucoma can drain into tear ducts, be absorbed systemically, and precipitate syncope caused by bradycardia.
Examination of the patient during a symptomatic episode can be revealing. Clearly, heart rate and blood pressure are key measurements to make. Assessment of the jugular
venous pressure and waveform can disclose the rapid oscillations of atrial flutter or “cannon” A waves indicative of contraction of the right atrium against a closed tricuspid
valve in patients with AV dissociation in disorders such as complete heart block or VT. Variations in the intensity of the first heart sound and systolic blood pressure have the
same implications.
The ECG is the primary tool in arrhythmia analysis; an EPS, in which intracardiac catheters are used to record activity from several regions of the heart at one time, is more
definitive. Initially, a 12-lead ECG is recorded. In addition, a long continuous recording with use of the lead that shows distinct P waves is often helpful for closer analysis; most
commonly, this is one of the inferior leads 2, 3, aVF, V1, or aVR. The ECG obtained during an episode of arrhythmia may be diagnostic by itself, obviating the need for further
diagnostic testing The following additional tests can be used to evaluate patients who have cardiac arrhythmias. The physician’s choice of which test to use depends on the
clinical circumstances. For example, a patient with multiple daily episodes of presyncope
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
57
is likely to have an event recorded on a 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic Holter monitor, whereas in a patient who complains of infrequent anxiety- or exercise-induced
palpitations, exercise stress testing may be more likely to provide a diagnosis. Normal sinus rhythm is arbitrarily limited to impulse formation beginning in the
sinus node at rates between 60 and 100 beatsmin. Infants and children generally have faster heart rates than adults do, both at rest and during exercise. Rates below 50
beatsmin are considered to be bradycardia, and rates above 100 beatsmin are considered to be tachycardia.
Tachyarrhythmias are broadly characterized as supraventricular tachycardia SVT, defined as a tachycardia in which the driving circuit or focus originates, at least in part, in
tissue above the level of the ventricle i.e., sinus node, atria, AV node, or His bundle, and ventricular tachycardia VT, defined as a tachycardia in which the driving circuit or focus
solely originates in ventricular tissue or Purkinje fibers. Because of differences in prognosis and management, the distinction between SVT and VT is critical early in the
acute management of a tachyarrhythmia. In general with the exception of idiopathic VT, VT often carries a much graver prognosis, usually implies the presence of significant heart
disease, results in more profound hemodynamic compromise, and therefore requires immediate attention and measures to revert to sinus rhythm. On the other hand, SVT is
usually not lethal and often does not result in hemodynamic collapse; therefore, more conservative measures can be applied initially to convert to sinus rhythm. Supraventricular
tachycardia SVTs are almost benign. Initial management of SVT comprises the Valsalva manuver, carotid sinus pressure or administration of intra venous adenosine. Beta-blocker
and verapamil reduce symptoms significantly in two-thirds of patients with recurrent SVT. Radio frequency ablation should be considered for all patients with frequent SVT
Tachycardia in an adult is defined as a rate of 100 beatsmin. During sinus tachycardia, the sinus node exhibits a discharge frequency between 100 and 180
beatsmin, but it can be higher with extreme exertion and in young individuals. The maximum heart rate achieved during strenuous physical activity decreases with age from
about 200 beatsmin at 20 years to less than 140 beatsmin at 80 years.
Premature complexes are among the most common causes of an irregular pulse. They can originate from any area in the heart—most frequently from the ventricles, less
often from the atria and the AV junctional area, and rarely from the sinus node. Although premature complexes arise commonly in normal hearts, they are more often associated
with structural heart disease and increase in frequency with age. The diagnosis of premature atrial complexes PACs is made on the ECG by the presence of a premature P
wave with a PR interval of 120 milliseconds except in Wolff- Parkinson-White syndrome, in which case the PR interval is usually shorter than 120 milliseconds. Although the
contour of a premature P wave can resemble that of a normal sinus P wave, it generally differs.
Atrial fibrillation AF is a supraventricular arrhythmia characterized electrocardiographically by low-amplitude baseline oscillations fibrillatory or f waves and
an irregularly irregular ventricular rhythm. AF is the most common arrhythmia treated in clinical practice and the most common arrhythmia for which patients are hospitalized;
approximately 33 of arrhythmia-related hospitalizations are for AF. The symptoms of AF vary widely between patients, ranging from none to severe and functionally disabling
symptoms. The most common symptoms of AF are palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea, effort intolerance, and lightheadedness.
Atrial flutter is less common than atrial fibrillation. The atrial rate during typical atrial flutter is usually 250 to 350 beatsmin, although it is occasionally slower, particularly
when the patient is treated with antiarrhythmic drugs, which can reduce the rate to about 200 beatsmin. In typical atrial flutter, the ECG reveals identically recurring, regular,
sawtooth flutter waves and evidence of continual electrical activity lack of an isoelectric interval between flutter waves, often best visualized in leads II, III, aVF, or V1.
Management of atrial fibrillation and flutter is the rate control strategy. It is directed at limiting the ventricular response to atrial fibrillation by using AV node blocking drugs,
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
58
such as digoxin, beta-blockers and verapamil. Cardioversion and anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to restore and maintain sinus rhythm. Anti-coagulation with warfarin should be
considered for patients with atrial fibrillation and risk factors for stroke. The prevalence of premature ventricular complexes increases with age; they are
associated with male gender and a reduced serum potassium concentration. Symptoms of palpitations or discomfort in the neck or chest can result because of the greater than
normal contractile force of the postextrasystolic beat or the feeling that the heart has stopped during the long pause after the premature complex. A PVC is characterized by the
premature occurrence of a QRS complex that is abnormal in shape and has a duration usually exceeding the dominant QRS complex, generally longer than 120 milliseconds. In
most patients, PVCs occurring as single PVCs, bigeminy, or trigeminy but excluding nonsustained VT do not need to be treated and treatment is usually dictated by the
presence of symptoms attributable to the PVCs.
In general, the specific type, prognosis, and management of ventricular tachycardia VT depend on whether underlying structural heart disease is present. The
electrocardiographic diagnosis of VT is suggested by the occurrence of a series of three or more consecutive, abnormally shaped PVCs whose duration exceeds 120 milliseconds,
with the ST-T vector pointing opposite the major QRS deflection. Symptoms occurring during VT depend on the ventricular rate, duration of tachycardia, and presence and
extent of the underlying heart disease and peripheral vascular disease. VT can occur in several forms: short, asymptomatic, nonsustained episodes; sustained, hemodynamically
stable events, generally occurring at slower rates or in otherwise normal hearts; or unstable runs, often degenerating into VF. The dramatic changes in the management of
VT and aborted sudden death during the past decade have been fueled by several large clinical trials and development of the ICD. Management decisions can be stratified into
those involved in acute management or termination and those involved in long-term therapy or prevention of recurrence or sudden death.
Ventricular fibrillation VF occurs in various clinical situations but most commonly in association with coronary artery disease and as a terminal event. Ventricular flutter or
VF results in faintness, followed by loss of consciousness, seizures, apnea, and eventually, if the rhythm continues untreated, death. The blood pressure is unobtainable,
and heart sounds are usually absent. These arrhythmias represent severe derangements of the heartbeat that usually terminate fatally within 3 to 5 minutes unless corrective
measures are undertaken promptly. Ventricular flutter is manifested as a sine wave in appearance—regular large oscillations occurring at a rate of 150 to 300 beatsmin usually
about 200. The distinction between rapid VT and ventricular flutter can be difficult and is usually of academic interest only. Hemodynamic collapse is present with both. VF is
recognized by the presence of irregular undulations of varying contour and amplitude. Distinct QRS complexes, ST segments, and T waves are absent. Fine-amplitude
fibrillatory waves 0.2 mV are present with prolonged VF. These fine waves identify patients with worse survival rates and are sometimes confused with asystole.
Management should follow basic life support and advanced cardiac life support guidelines.
Bradyarrhythmias are arbitrarily defined as a heart rate below 60 beatsmin. In some cases, bradyarrhythmias are physiologic, as in well-conditioned athletes with low
resting heart rates or type I AV block during sleep, and in other cases are pathologic. Like tachyarrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias can be categorized on the basis of the level of
disturbance in the hierarchy of the normal impulse generation and conduction system from sinus node to AV node to His-Purkinje system. Sinus bradycardia exists in an adult
when the sinus node discharges at a rate slower than 60 beatsmin. P waves have a normal contour and occur before each QRS complex, usually with a constant PR interval
longer than 120 milliseconds. Sinus arrhythmia often coexists.
Heart block is a disturbance of impulse conduction that can be permanent or transient, depending on the anatomic or functional impairment. It must be distinguished
from interference, a normal phenomenon that is a disturbance of impulse conduction caused by physiologic refractoriness resulting from inexcitability caused by a preceding
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
59
impulse. Interference or block can occur at any site where impulses are conducted, but they are recognized most commonly between the sinus node and atrium SA block,
between the atria and ventricles AV block, within the atria intra-atrial block, or within the ventricles intraventricular block. An AV block exists when the atrial impulse is conducted
with delay or is not conducted at all to the ventricle when the AV junction is not physiologically refractory. In some cases of bundle branch block, the impulse may only be
delayed and not completely blocked in the bundle branch, yet the resulting QRS complex may be indistinguishable from a QRS complex generated by a complete bundle branch
block. .

ABSTRACT II: ANTI ARRHYTHMIC DRUGS
Many factors can precipitate or exacerbate arrhythmias: ischemia, hypoxia, acidosis or alkalosis, electrolyte abnormalities, excessive catecholamine exposure,
autonomic influences, drug toxicity eg, digitalis or antiarrhythmic drugs, overstretching of cardiac fibers, and the presence of scarred or otherwise diseased tissue. However, all
arrhythmias result from 1 disturbances in impulse formation, 2 disturbances in impulse conduction, or 3 both. Arrhythmias may require treatment because rhythms that are too
rapid, too slow, or asynchronous can reduce cardiac output. Some arrhythmias can precipitate more serious or even lethal rhythm disturbances. In such patients,
antiarrhythmic drugs may be lifesaving.Arrhythmias can be treated with the drugs and with nonpharmacologic therapies such as pacemakers,cardioversion, catheter ablation, and
surgery.
The aim of therapy of the arrhythmias is to reduce ectopic pacemaker activity and modify conduction or refractoriness in reentry circuits to disable circus movement.
Antiarrhythmic drugs decrease the automaticity of ectopic pacemakers more than that of the sinoatrial node The major mechanisms currently available for accomplishing these
goals are 1 sodium channel blockade, 2 blockade of sympathetic autonomic effects in the heart, 3 prolongation of the effective refractory period, and 4
calcium channel blockade.Antiarrhythmic drugs and in particular the fact that they can precipitate lethal arrhythmias in some patients has led to a reevaluation of their relative
risks and benefits. In general, treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic arrhythmias should be avoided for this reason.

ABSTRACT I :
Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans and is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic
kidney disease. Despite extensive research over the past several decades, the etiology of most cases of adult hypertension is still unknown, and control of blood pressure is
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
62
Day 20
suboptimal in the general population. Approximately 75 million adults in the United States are affected by hypertension. Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for
coronary heart disease the leading cause of death in North America, stroke the third leading cause, congestive heart failure, end-stage renal disease, and peripheral vascular
disease.
Defining abnormally high blood pressure BP is extremely difficult and arbitrary. Furthermore, the relationship between systemic arterial pressure and morbidity appears to
be quantitative rather than qualitative. A level for high BP must be agreed upon in clinical practice for screening patients with hypertension and for instituting diagnostic evaluation
and initiating therapy. Because the risk to an individual patient may correlate with the severity of hypertension, a classification system is essential for making decisions about
aggressiveness of treatment or therapeutic interventions. Based on recommendations of the JNC 7, the classification of BP expressed in mm Hg
for adults aged 18 years or older is as follows
[3]
:
Normal: systolic lower than 120 mm Hg, diastolic lower than 80 mm Hg
Prehypertension: systolic 120-139 mm Hg, diastolic 80-89 mm Hg
Stage 1: systolic 140-159 mm Hg, diastolic 90-99 mm Hg
Stage 2: systolic 160 mm Hg or greater, diastolic 100 mm Hg or greater Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rises proportionately with increases in
systolic blood pressure. In 95 of cases, the etiology of hypertension is idiopathic or essential hypertension. Secondary hypertension ~ 5 of cases should be identified and
treated. Hypertension is an asymptomatic condition unless associated with hypertensive crises, and is often an incidental finding on routine examination.
Patients with hypertension should undergo initial basic screening for the secondary causes of hypertension, and should be assessed for evidence of end-organ damage. All
patients should have urinalysis, serum biochemistry electrolytes, glucose, urea and creatinin concentrations and thyroid function tests and ECG electrocardiogram for
looking signs of left ventricular hypertrophy or ischaemic heart disease. Treatment of hypertension is associated with primary and secondary preventive
benefits. Selection of anti hypertensive drugs is dependent upon patient choice, side effects, risk factors profile and co-morbidity.

ABSTRACT I :
Heart failure HF can be defined as an abnormality of cardiac structureor function leading to failure of the heart to deliver oxygen at a rate commensurate with the
requirements of the metabolizing tissues, despite normal filling pressures or only at the
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
64
Day 21
expense of increased filling pressures.HF is defined, clinically, as a syndrome in which patients have typical symptoms e.g. breathlessness, ankle swelling, and fatigue and
signs e.g. elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary crackles, and displaced apex beat resulting from an abnormality of cardiac structure or function.
Approximately 1–2 of the adult population in developed countrieshas HF, with the prevalence rising to ≥10 among persons 70 years of age or older.There are many
causes of HF, and these vary in different parts of the world. At least half of patients with HF have a low ejection fraction EF. Coronary artery disease CAD is the cause of
approximately two-thirds of cases of systolic HF, although hypertension and diabetes are probable contributing factors in many cases. There are many other causes of systolic HF,
which include previous viral infection recognized or unrecognized, alcohol abuse, chemotherapy e.g. doxorubicin or trastuzumab, and ‘idiopathic’ dilated cardiomyopathy
although the cause is thought to be unknown, some of these cases may have a genetic basis.
Two key neurohumoral systems activated in HF are the renin–angiotensin– aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system. In addition to causing further
myocardial injury, these systemicresponses have detrimental effects on the blood vessels, kidneys, muscles, bone marrow, lungs, and liver, and create a pathophysiological ‘vicious
cycle’, accounting for many of the clinical features of the HF syndrome, including myocardial electrical instability. Interruption of these two key processes is the basis of
much of the effective treatment of HF.
The diagnosis of HF can be difficult, especially in the early stages.Although symptoms bring patients to medical attention, many of the symptoms of HF are non-
specific and do not, therefore,help discriminate between HF and other problems. Symptoms that are more specific i.e. orthopnoea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea
are less common, especially in patients with milder symptoms, and are, therefore, insensitive.Many of the signs of HF result from sodium and water retention, and are,
therefore, also not specific. Peripheral oedema has other causes as well, and is particularly non-specific. Signs resulting from sodium and water retention e.g. peripheral
oedema resolve quickly with diuretic therapy i.e. may be absent in patients receiving such treatment, making it more difficult to assess patients already treated in this way.
More specific signs, such as elevated jugular venous pressure and displacement of the apical impulse, are harder to detect and, therefore, less reproducible i.e. agreement
between different doctors examining the same patient maybe poor.
Symptoms and signs may be particularly difficult to identify andinterpret in obese individuals, in the elderly, and in patients with chronic lung disease.The patient’s medical
history is also important. HF is unusual in an individual with no relevant medical history e.g. a potential cause of cardiac damage, whereas certain features, particularly previous
myocardial infarction, greatly increase the likelihood of HF in apatient with appropriate symptoms and signs.These points highlight the need to obtain objective evidence of a
structural or functional cardiac abnormality that is thought to account for the patient’s symptoms and signs, to secure the diagnosis of HF. Once the diagnosis of HF has been
made, it is important to establish the cause, particularly specific correctable causes. Symptoms and signs are important in monitoring a patient’s response to treatment and
stability over time. Persistence of symptoms despite treatment usually indicates the need for additional therapy, and worsening of symptoms is a serious development placing the
patient at risk of urgent hospital admission and death and merits prompt medical attention.
The echocardiogram and electrocardiogram ECG are the mostuseful tests in patients with suspected HF. The echocardiogram provides immediate information on
chamber volumes, ventricular systolic and diastolic function, wall thickness, and valve function. This information is crucial in determining appropriate treatment e.g. an ACE
inhibitor and beta-blocker for systolic dysfunction or surgery for aortic stenosis. The ECG shows the heart rhythm and electrical conduction, i.e. whether there is sinoatrialdisease,
atrioventricular AV block, or abnormal intraventricular conduction. These findings are
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
65
also important for decisions about treatment e.g. rate control and anticoagulation for AF, pacing for bradycardia, or CRT if the patient has LBBB. The ECG may also show
evidence of LV hypertrophy or Q waves indicating loss of viable myocardium, giving a possible clue to the aetiology of HF. HF is very unlikely likelihood ,2 in patients
presenting acutely and with a completely normal ECG.The information provided by these two tests will permit an initial working diagnosis and treatment plan in the majority of
patients. Routine biochemical and haematological investigations are also important, partly to determine whether renin–angiotensin– aldosterone blockade can be initiated safely
renal function and potassium and to exclude anaemia which can mimic or aggravate HF and because they provide other, useful information. Because the signs and symptoms
of HF are so non-specific, many patients with suspected HF referred for echocardiography are not found to have an important cardiac abnormality. Where the availability of
echocardiography is limited, an alternative approach to diagnosis is to measure the blood concentration of a natriuretic peptide, a family of hormones secreted in increased amounts
when the heart is diseased or the load on any chamber is increased e.g. by AF, pulmonary embolism, and some non-cardiovascular conditions, including renal failure.A
chest X-ray is of limited use in the diagnostic work-up of patientswith suspected HF. It is probably most useful in identifying an alternative,pulmonary explanation for a patient’s
symptoms and signs. It may,however, show pulmonary venous congestion or oedema in a patientwith HF. It is important to note that significant LV systolic dysfunction may be
present without cardiomegaly on the chest X-ray.
Many variables provide prognostic information, althoughmost of this can be obtained from readily available datasuch as age, aetiology, NYHA class, EF, key co-
morbidities renaldysfunction, diabetes, anaemia, hyperuricaemia, and plasma natriuretic peptide concentration.Clearly these variables change over time, as does prognosis.
Assessment of prognosis is particularly important when counselling patients about devices and surgery including transplantation and in planning end-of-life care with patients, their
family, and caregivers.
The goals of treatment in patients with established HF are torelieve symptoms and signs e.g. oedema, prevent hospital admission, and improve survival. Although the focus
of clinical trials was previously mortality, it is now recognized that preventing HF hospitalization is important for patients and healthcare systems.Reductions in mortality
and hospital admission rates both reflect the ability of effective treatments to slow or prevent progressive worsening of HF. This is often accompanied by reverse LV
remodeling and a reduction in circulating natriuretic peptide concentrations.The relief of symptoms, improvement in quality of life, and increasein functional capacity are also of the
utmost importanceto patients, but they have not been the primary outcome in most trials.Three neurohumoral antagonists— an ACE inhibitor [or angiotensin receptor blocker
ARB], a beta-blocker, and an MRA—are fundamentally important in modifying the course of systolic HF and should at least be considered in every patient. They are commonly
used in conjunction with a diuretic given to relieve the symptoms and signs of congestion.

ABSTRACT I :
ANTI HYPERTENSIVE DRUGS
Hypertension is important because elevated blood pressure BP confers a greater risk of stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease including angina, myocard infarction,
and sudden death, renal disease and peripheral vascular disease. There is a continuous, direct relationship between elevation in blood pressure and increases the risk. JNC 7,
2003 classification of blood pressure in adults is as follows: normal, prehypertension, stage I hypertension and stage 2 hypertension.
In general, the higher the blood pressure and the greater the number of risk factors, indicate higher urgency and stringency in treating hypertension. Lowering blood
pressure is just one way to prevent complications; attention must also be paid to the presence and reversal of other cardiovascular risk factors such as cigarette smoking,
hyperlipidemia and especially in diabetes mellitus.
Drugs used in lowering blood pressure will decrease peripheral vascular resistance orand decrease cardiac output. These can be due to either directly decrease arteriolar
smooth muscle tone which decrease peripheral resistance, decrease myocardial contractility, heart rate, venous tone, blood volume which decrease cardiac output or
indirectly through inhibition of sympathetic nervous system activity or inhibition of renin- angiotensin-aldosteron system. They can be used alone or combination to return the
blood pressure to target levels with minimal side effects.
ABSTRACT II:
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate sufficient to meet the metabolic requirements of the tissues. Heart failure is frequently, but not always,
caused by a defect in myocardial contraction that may result from a primary abnormality
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
68
in heart muscle, as occurs in the cardiomyopathies or in viral myocarditis. Heart failure also result from coronary atherosclerosis, which interferes with cardiac contraction by
causing myocardial infarction. Heart failure may also occur in congenital, valvular and hypertensive heart disease in which myocardium is damaged by the long standing
hemodynamic overload.
Drugs used in heart failure include diuretics, vasodilators, nitrate, angiotensin antagonist, beta blockers and positive inotropes. Positive inotropes increase the
myocardial contractility. They improves the symptoms of heart failure but at the cost of increasing mortality. They induce arrhythmias, increase myocardial oxygen consumption
and reduced myocardial perfusion reduction blood flow. They are several classes of positive inotropes such as beta1 agonis e.g. dopamine, dobutamine, phosphodiesterase
inhibitors eg amrinone, milrinone, and digitalis e.g. digoxin. Beta 1 agonists and phosphodiesterase inhibitors are not used in chronic heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Cor pulmonale is a common complication of pulmonary hypertension. Cor pulmonale
refers to altered structure eg, hypertrophy or dilatation andor impaired function of the right ventricle that results from pulmonary hypertension that is associated with diseases of
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
70
Day 23
the lung eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, vasculature eg, idiopathic lumonary arterial hypertension, upper airway eg, obstructive sleep apnea, or chest wall eg,
kyphoscoliosis. Right sided heart disease due to left sided heart disease is not considered cor pulmonale. Pulmonary hypertension PH is defined as PA Pressure .20
mmHg and is placed in the heterogeneous group of PH associated with disorders of the respiratory system andor hypoxaemia. The reason for setting such a threshold is that in
healthy subjects PA Pressure is always 20 mmHg at rest and, as stated above, a PA Pressure 20 mmHg is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, in
some recent studies PH was defined by PA Pressure 25 mmHg.
Cor pulmonale tends to be chronic and slowly progressive, but it can be acute. Acute cor pulmonale occurs when the right ventricle cannot adapt to an increase in the
pulmonary arterial pressure. The increased pulmonary artery pressure may be consequence of a new acute process, such as pulmonary embolism, or progression of the
chronic disease. The diagnostic evaluation of cor pulmonale is inseparable from the evaluation for pulmonary hypertension. Cor pulmonale could be diagnosed based on the
clinical manifestation and using chest x-ray, electrocardiography, and echocardiography as well as magnetic resonance imaging, pulmonary function testing, and right heart
catheterization. Symptoms attributable to cor pulmonale include dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, lethargy, exertional syncope, and exertional angina. Patients with cor pulmonale
have physical findings related to both pulmonary hypertension and righ-sided heart disease.
All patients with cor pulmonale should have the underlying cause of the cor pulmonale and pulmonary hypertension treated. The treatment of cor pulmonale can be
conceptualized as having three major physiological gols: reduction of right ventricular afterload eg, pulmonary artery pressure, decrease of right ventricular pressure, and
improvement of right ventricular contractility. In the cor pulmonale condition that leads into heart failure, diuretics and nitrates may be needed to improve the condition of the patient.
Oxygen supplementation is often required to resolve the shortness of breath. Treatments of PAH have shown a dramatic change in the past few years. Synthetic prostacyclin
epoprostenol, prostacyclin analogues, endothelin-1 receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors were tested in randomised controlled trials, leading to the
approval of several drugs in each class.

ABSTRACT I:
Valvular heart disease is characterized by damage to or a defect in one of the four heart valves: the mitral, aortic, tricuspid or pulmonary. The mitral and tricuspid valves control
the flow of blood between the atria and the ventricles the upper and lower chambers of the heart. The pulmonary valve controls the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs,
and the aortic valvegoverns blood flow between the heart and the aorta, and thereby the blood vessels to the rest of the body. The mitral and aortic valves are the ones most
frequently affected by valvular heart disease. Normally functioning valves ensure that blood flows with proper force in the proper direction at the proper time.
In valvular heart disease, the valves become too narrow and hardened stenotic to open fully, or are unable to close completely incompetent. A stenotic valve forces blood
to back up in the adjacent heart chamber, while an incompetent valve allows blood to leak back into the chamber it previously exited. To compensate for poor pumping action, the
heart muscle enlarges and thickens, thereby losing elasticity and efficiency. In addition, in
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
73
some cases, blood pooling in the chambers of the heart has a greater tendency to clot, increasing the risk of stroke or pulmonary embolism. The severity of valvular heart disease
varies. In mild cases there may be no symptoms, while in advanced cases, valvular heart disease may lead to congestive heart failure and other complications. Valvular heart
disease accounts for 10 to 20 of all cardiac surgical procedure.
The primary causes of valve disease are age-associated calcific valve changes and inherited or congenital conditions. The prevalence of rheumatic valve disease now is
very low in the United States and Europe because of primary prevention of rheumatic fever, although rheumatic valve disease remains prevalent in the developing world.In
addition to patients with severe valve disease that eventually requires mechanical intervention, there is a larger group of patients with mild to moderate disease who need
accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical management. The most prevalent valvular heart disease is the following: 1 mitral valve disease, 2 aortic valve disease, and 3
tricuspid and pulmonary valve disease. Most valvular abnormalities can be managed with medical therapy, percutaneous intervention, or surgical intervention.

ABSTRACT II:
Pericardium is composed of two layers, the visceral pericaradium, a monolayer of mesothelial cells and collagenand elastin fibers that is adherent to the epicardial surface
of the heart and the fibrous parietal layer, which is approximately 2mm thick in normal humans and surrounds most of the heart. The pericardial space or sac is contained within
these two layers and normally has up to 50ml of serous fluid. Pericardium serves as barrier to infection, as well as lubrication between the visceral and parietal layers. The
best characterized mechanical function of the pericardium is its restraining effect on cardiac volume.
The spectrum of pericardial diseas comprises congenital defects, pericarditis dry, effusive, effusive-constrictive, constrictive, neoplasm, and cysts. Congenital defect of the
pericardium occure 1 in 10.000 autopsies. It comprises partial left 70, right 17 or total bilateral extremely rare pericardial absence. The diagnosis is confirmed by
echocardiography and CTMRI. Acute pericarditis is either dry, fibrinous or effusive, independent from its aetiology. A prodrome of fever, malaise, and myalgia is common, but
elderly patients may not be febrile. Major symptoms are retrosternal or left precordial chest pain radiates to the trapezius ridge, can be pleuritic or stimulate ischemia, and
varies with posture, non-productive cough, and shortness of breath. Pericardial friction rub and pleural effusion may be present. Diagnosis can be made by history taking,
physical examination, laboratory and imaging. Management include hospitalization, finding the etiology, observe for tamponade and start anti-inflammatory and symptomatic
treatment.
Endocardium is innermost layer of the heart. Its atrial component is thicker than ventricular, where purkinje fibers are distributed throughout the ventricular
subendocardium. Primary endocardial diseases are not common, usually non inflammatory in nature. Endocardialfibroelastosis is familial disease which involve
progressive edema of endocardium, fibroblast proliferation and increased amount of collagen withing endocardium lead to restrictive cardiomyopathy and interfere cardiac
output.
Secondary cause of endocardial disease usually from infection. Infective endocarditis IE incidence range from 3-10 episodes100.000 person-years, male to
female ratio is 2:1. Neither the incidence nor the mortality of the disease have decreased in the past 30 years, this disease still carries poor prognosis and high mortality. IE should
be suspected in some clinical situations, such as fever, new heart murmur, anemia and
Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME
74
embolic events. Up to 90 patient with fever, often associated with systemic symptoms of chills, poor appetite and weight loss. Transthoracic echocardiography must be performed
rapidly as soos as IE is suspected. Diagnosis of IE based on modified Duke criteria that composed with mayor and minor criteria. Treatment include supportive therapy based on
sign and symptoms and combination with antibiotic which can be start soon despite waiting for blood culture result.

ABSTRACT III:
Cardiac rehabilitation is multidisciplinary program of education and exercise established to assist individual with heart disease in achieving optimal physical,
psychological and functional status within thw limits of the diseased. The basic goal of cardiac rehabitation are to restore and improve cardiac
function, reduce disability, identify and cardiac risk factors, increased cardiac conditioning. Cardiac rehabilitation programs consist primary prevention
education, behavior modification, secondary prevention, and exercise program. Cardiac rehabilitation outcomes that can be expected decreased length of hospital
stay, more ripid, more complete resumption of ususal activities, self confident, less pshychological distress, and fewer readmissions.

ABSTRACT:
Atrial septal defects ASD and ventricular septal defect VSD and others are the congenital cardiac anomaly. The intracardiac defects makes the shunt and blood flows
through the shunt from right-to-left or reverse of the heart. Atrial septal defects ASD are most common in the vicinity of the fossa ovalis.
Septum secundum defects, the typical patent foramen ovale, account for 10-15 of all cardiac anomalies. Normal left atrial pressure is slightly greater than right atrial pressure,
a left-to-right shunt occur through an open ASD, oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart is shunted to the right side, thus not associated with cyanosis. An ASD is usually
compatible with normal life, except at an extreme exercise, cardiac disease, or pulmonary disease alter chamber pressures, a right-to-left shunt will produce cyanosis.
Ventricular septal defect VSD is usually happened at the upper membranous portion that composed of connective tissue continuous with the annulus fibrosus. A small
VSD may result in an inconsequential left-to-right shunt. In the presence of pulmonary stenosis, a VSD produces a right-to-left shunt with
cyanosis and the blue-baby syndrome. A large VSD is a principal factor in Tetralogy of Fallot.
Patent ductus arteriosus PDA is a persistence of the fetal connection ductus arteriosus between the aorta and pulmonary artery after birth, resulting in a left-to-right
shunt. Symptoms may include failure to thrive, poor feeding, tachycardia and tachypneu due to lung infection.

ABSTRACT:
Atherosclerosis is the usual cause of vascular diseases. The aneurysm of aorta is dilated of aorta lumen over one and half size of normal lumen of aorta. The aorta can
enlargement, elongated and tortous with or without thrombus in the lumen of aorta. It can be found on thoracic region or abdominal region or both. The patient got pain of the chest
or abdominal pain depend the aneurysm posotion. If you found the abdominal aortic aneurysm triple A, the large pulsatil tumor was found on central topographic of abdomen.
The patient become dengerous if aortic aneurysm ruptured and the patient getting haemorhagic shock.
Atherosclerosis can cause the peripheral artery diseases. The artery become aneurysm, stenosis and occluded. If the artery got occlusion on midle size of that, the
distal part of organ will ischemic and become death of the tissue that call ganggrene.
