Background: There is sparsity in regional data surrounding heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)-related acute decompensated (ADHF) admissions southeast Asia. This study aims to describe the characteristics, clinical parameters and outcomes related HFpEF-linked ADHF admissions. Methods: A retrospective, observational was conducted a major cardiac tertiary centre Malaysia over 10-year period (2009–2018). total of 4,198 patients were identified, which 632 had HFpEF. Results:...
Orbital apex syndrome is a rare manifestation of invasive mucormycosis. We report case orbital in diabetic patient which not only posed diagnostic challenge but also required multidisciplinary approach treatment and management. Prompt imaging followed by early initiation antimicrobial therapy along with timely surgical intervention were integral preventing further complications reducing mortality. However, despite these measures, the sustained partial vision loss due to endophthalmitis as...
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) is a rare anomaly and can be divided into acquired congenital forms, the latter being commonly associated with ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Rupture catastrophic complication high mortality without urgent surgical intervention. We would like to highlight use echocardiography in an emergency setting for diagnosis intervention critically ill patient.We report 27-year-old female history conservatively managed VSD known since childhood. She presented acute...
Aims: There remains a large emphasis on optimisation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) during the ‘vulnerable phase’ acute heart failure (HF). Multidisciplinary team (MDT-HF) clinics have been shown to be beneficial in increasing key GDMT prescriptions. The aim this study was report authors’ experience running first Malaysian early, post-discharge MDT-HF clinic. Methods: A retrospective review clinic conducted Institut Jantung Negara, Malaysia, over 3-year period (2019–22)....
Background: In the recent decades, Lemierre’s syndrome (LS) has been increasingly diagnosed with a wide range of causative organisms, especially increased awareness such an entity. Case Presentation: We report unusual case LS in previously healthy 15-year-old boy who presented initially high-grade fever, nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, and unilateral purulent otorrhea. Patient subsequently deteriorated requiring intensive care exhibited altered mental status prompting urgent contrast...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background/Introduction Heart failure carries substantial morbidity and mortality. Female has different characteristics compared to male which may affect prognosis are not represented well in many trials. Multiple risk scores for in-hospital mortality have been created validated such as ADHERE (Acute Decompensated Failure National Registry) GWTG (Get With The Guidelines). However, these were Western population gender specific....
Abstract Background The burden of heart failure (HF) is immense, from reducing quality life (QoL) to increasing mortality risks and additional financial implications. risk adverse outcomes get higher with each HF hospitalisation (HFH). Purpose To look at predictors in-hospital during HFH the prescription trends in conventional guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HF. Methods Retrospective analyses were performed 7405 cases admitted our cardiology institution 2009 2018, diagnosed...
