Levels of uric acid and increased diastolic blood pressure: Risk factors for atrial fibrillation in patients older than 60 years

Abstract: Objective: To characterize the maximum P-wave duration (Pmax) and P-wave dispersion (PWD) according to blood pressure (BP) and uric acid (UA) levels in geriatric patients. Method: An analytical study was performed in 83 patients aged over 60 years treated at the Family Medical Office 5 of the Aracelio Rodríguez Castellón Polyclinic, in Cienfuegos, Cuba between January and December 2015. The sample was divided into two groups (patients with hyperuricemia and patients with normal UA levels). Results: We found a … Show more

“…This study indicates that hyperuricemia was related to the higher systolic BP which response to exercise. However, a previous study postulated that diastolic BP, but not systolic BP, was significantly higher among participants with hyperuricemia (Castro-Torres et al, 2017). The empirical study aforementioned captured that systolic or diastolic BP is suggested to correlate with hyperuricemia.…”
