Serum Uric Acid Could Differentiate Acute Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina Pectoris in Hyperuricemic Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients

Abstract: Introduction:Serum uric acid (SUA) is the final product of purine metabolism in humans.Aim:The present study aimed to identify a potential association between serum UA and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and to find out whether uric acid could differentiate patients presenting with the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UAP) in hyperuricemic and normouricemic acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.Methods:Eighty ACS patients, aged 50-83 years, were enrolled in the study, 40 of the… Show more

“…Mean value of SUA were higher in ACS with its severity undergoing different stages as NSTEMI, STEMI as compared to UA group with less SUA. This result also shows MI patients have higher SUA level than that of UA which is similar to the study by Hasic et al [16] which shows levels of SUA are associated with the type of ACS in the hyperuricemic ACS patients (MI versus UA, 499(458-590) µmol/L, 425(400-447) µmol/L respectively with P value = 0.007. Our result also shows significant association between SUA and ACS.…”

“…A strong positive correlation was obtained (Pearson correlation 0.807, P value <0.00001), that is, as the value of one increases the other also increases. Hasic et al 17 In the present study when serum uric acid level on the day of admission was correlated with ejection fraction (%). A strong negative correlation was obtained (Pearson correlation -0.827, p value <0.00001).…”

“…cTnI, CK-MB and hs-CRP are sensitive factors to myocardial injury. cTnI has been reported to have a high sensitivity to myocardial infarction, however, due to its insignificant changes in the early stage of ACS, it can only be used to evaluate the severity of myocardial infarction ( 20 ). Similarly, although highly sensitive to myocardial infarction, CK-MB has poor specificity for myocardial injury because it is also increased in patients with diabetes and skeletal muscle trauma ( 21 ).…”
