 <\/p>\n

Warfarin is prescribed to individuals who are at increased risk of developing harmful blood clots due to certain medical conditions or following procedures such as heart valve repair\/replacement and Fontal\/Bentall procedure. As the effects of Warfarin can vary significantly from one individual to another, careful dosage adjustment is required based on a specific blood test called INR, that checks for your response towards Warfarin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The primary objective of our INR clinic is to provide close monitoring while you are on warfarin therapy and maintaining a balance between preventing blood clot formation and minimizing the risk of bleeding.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kindly bring along your Warfarin Record Book<\/strong><\/span> each time you attend the INR clinic or a doctor\u2019s appointment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Smoking contributes significantly as a risk factor towards heart and lung disease.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      IJN being the premier cardiovascular and thoracic centre made it its responsibility to educate heart patients on the risks involved, complement the patients\u2019 treatment and rehabilitation and help the smokers quit smoking. IJN started its own Quit Smoking Clinic (QSC) in February 2008.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Clinics are conducted by experienced senior nursing professionals from the Patient Counselling Department and Heart Failure Unit of the Cardiology Department. Clients include those referred by doctors or those who themselves are keen to quit smoking and needed assistance to do so.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The aim of the Clinic is to create awareness on the negative effects of smoking and helping smokers deal with all aspects of their addiction to nicotine. Nicotine dependence is the reason why clients\u2019 are unable to quit even when they want to. Nicotine is highly addictive and it can be very difficult to quit smoking, especially without help.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Clients in the quit smoking programme are evaluated on a case by case basis depending on various factors including their medical condition and their level of desire to quit. Apart from providing counselling and motivation, the experienced nursing professionals assess the lifestyle of the clients and provide information on types of treatment and medication available the form of Nicotine and Non-Nicotine replacement therapy. Carbon monoxide analysis is carried out and the appropriate treatment is recommended.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”1949″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]In line with this, IJN had taken a step forward to start its own Quit Smoking Support Group. The group would meet once every 2 months, when new clients and a number of successful \u2018quitters\u2019 are invited for the sessions. At the first session held on March 2011, fellow participants and successful quitters shared their experiences and motivate each other to succeed. When they find it a struggle to give up smoking and felt like quitting the program, it becomes more meaningful when they see people in the same situation who has successfully quit the habit. This acts as a motivation as well as a challenge to them.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Each year the Clinic holds a public forum on quit smoking during which successful quitters referred to as \u2018Graduates\u2019 are presented with certificates of achievement.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The Quit Smoking Clinic also undertakes outreach programmes especially when requested by the public and private sector organisations who wish to promote quit smoking amongst their staff or members. Personnel from the Clinic also participates in IJN\u2019s Corporate Social Initiatives CSI programmes in various parts of the country when the Quit Smoking group educates the general public on the risks associated with smoking and how they can quit the habit.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Renal Denervation Clinic” tab_id=”1701677348335-3-10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

      Renal Denervation Screening Clinic<\/span><\/h4>\n

      Institut Jantung Negara Kuala Lumpur offers a catheter based renal sympathetic denervation solution for suitable patients with resistant hypertension. On 14th September 2011, Institut Jantung Negara became the first centre in Asia to perform a new technique of treating patients with Resistant Hypertension. The procedure is bilateral renal artery denervation using the Symplicity\u00ae Catheter system (Ardian).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

      Resistant hypertension<\/span><\/h4>\n

      High blood pressure or Hypertension is a common disorder and affect at least 30 to 40% of the adult population in the developed world. Most patients who suffer from hypertension do not have any symptoms. However many studies have shown higher blood pressure is associated with increased risk of ischaemic heart disease and stroke. A study by MOH, J.p et al showed that lowering blood pressure by as little as 5mmHg can reduce the risk of stroke by almost 30%. However in some instances, Blood Pressure remains above target goals despite intensive therapy. While these patients are considered as uncontrolled hypertension due to various reasons like non-compliance to medications, White-coat hypertension or pseudohypertension, there are those that are truly resistant to treatment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

      The science behind renal denervation<\/span><\/h4>\n

      Resistant hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure of more than 160 mmHg (more than 150mmHg for the diabetic patient) despite being on 3 or more antihypertensive medications. The pathophysiology of hypertension is complex and not fully understood. But what we do know is that the renal sympathetic nerve that innervates the wall of the renal artery is important in the pathology of hypertension. It regulates the sodium retention, stimulation of the renin release and reduction of the renal blood flow. The hyperactivation of these factors lead to hypertension. Studies have shown that inhibiting the sympathetic nerve via surgical means will lower the blood pressure. The SYMPLICITY HYPERTENSION TRIAL has shown that renal denervation is a safe procedure that causes blood pressure reduction in patients with resistant hypertension. A device-based, percutaneous approach of selectively denervating the renal sympathetic nerves using Radiofrequency Ablation, the Symplicity\u00ae Catheter system was developed by Ardian for this very reason (Picture 1, courtesy of Ardian Medtronic).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

          Heart Failure<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Heart failure means the heart does not pump as well as it should during each heart beat. As a result, the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body\u2019s needs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1702546278548{border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #eaeaea !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]<\/p>\n

          How common is Heart Failure?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Heart failure becomes more common with increasing age. About 1 in 15 people aged 65-74 years have heart failure. This increases to about 1 in 15 of people aged 75-84 years, and to just over 1 in 7 people aged 85 years and above. It is uncommon in younger people.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

            What are the causes of Heart Failure?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

            Coronary artery disease is the most common cause. In this condition the blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced by narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. The heart muscle may then not function as well as normal. Heart failure may develop after a heart attack (myocardial infarction), A heart attack is due to sudden blockage of a coronary artery that results in damage to part of the heart muscle.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Following a heart attack, scar tissue forms in the effected part of the heart muscle, the bigger area the heart attack, the bigger the damage and scarring, and the more likely the function of the heart is affected leading to heart failure.<\/p>\n

            [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

            Various others condition also cause heart failure. For example:<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            • Disease of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Uncontrolled high blood pressure<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Severe arrythmias<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Drugs or chemicals that may damage the heart muscle e.g. alcohol excess, cocaine and some type of chemotherapy<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Congenital heart defects<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Viruses<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
            • Diabetes<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              <\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1702546388766{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-top-color: #eaeaea !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #eaeaea !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]<\/p>\n

              Can Heart Failure be prevented?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Good blood pressure control is important if a person has high blood pressure. Prevent the development of coronary artery disease and heart attacks by controlling cholesterol levels and avoiding smoking. In patients with coronary artery disease, appropriate treatment can reduce the risk of heart attacks.<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              If heart attacks occur, early treatment can limit muscle damage and various medications after a heart attack can reduce the development of heart failure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

              <\/p>\n

              What is the aim of management for Heart Failure?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
                \n
              • Preventing worsening of Heart Failure.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
              • Reducing symptoms & hospitalisation due to heart failure and improving the quality of life.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
              • Improving the survival of patients with heart failure.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                What is the outlook (prognosis)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

                In general, the more severe the heart failure, the worse is the outlook. In many cases the symptoms remain stable for quite sometime (months or years) before deteriorating. In some cases the deterioration is more rapid and eventually leads to death.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                Heart failure is a chronic disease needing lifelong management. However with treatment, a failing heart can improve and patients can feel better and live longer.<\/p>\n
