Background: Among non-communicable diseases, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common killer of people in the world. The management of AMI patients is one of the major challenges in the field of cardiology. Uric acid has several effects of potential interest in cardiovascular disease. There are some markers indicating an unfavorable prognosis in AMI patients. Uric acid is one of the markers that have been evaluated in research. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the association between serum uric acid level and in-hospital outcomes of AMI patients. Patients and methods: This longitudinal descriptive study was conducted over 115 AMI patients in the Cardiology Unit of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital during the period of January 2015 to December 2016. Baseline characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, BP, RBS, risk factors (hypertension, DM, smoking, family history of IHD, dyslipidemia), and outcomes of AMI patients (acute LVF, arrhythmia, conduction block, cardiogenic shock, death) were recorded. We measured the serum uric acid of this patient at admission.  Results: The mean age of patients was 52.83±10.71 years. Out of 115 patients, 83.5% were male, and 16.5% were female. Among the risk factors, 65.2% of patients had HTN, 20.9% DM, 64.3% smoking, 16.5% family history of IHD, and 47.8% dyslipidemia. Out of 115, 35.7% of patients demonstrated high serum uric acid. In outcomes of AMI patients, acute LVF 24.4% (p=0.031) and death 12.2% (p=0.041) were significantly higher in patients with high serum uric acid levels. Conclusion: Significant association was found between high serum uric acid level and in-hospital outcomes of AMI patients. So, estimation of serum uric acid may offer an inexpensive, quick, and non-invasive method for identifying such high-risk patients. TAJ 2021; 34: No-1: 26-32

Background: Elevated levels of serum uric acid are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, this association with cardiovascular diseases is still unclear, and perhaps controversial. The objective of study was to assess the serum uric acid level in patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).Methods: Sixty patients with AMI were studied in Department of Medicine/ Department of Cardiology, J.A. Group of Hospitals between 2016 -2018.Details of age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption and history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) was obtained and recorded. Serum uric acid level was estimated and compared with control group (healthy subjects).Results: Serum uric acid level was significantly higher among AMI patients (6.43±2.60) as compared to control group (4.05±0.95) (p<0.001). Majority (46.7%) of the AMI patients had uric acid level of >7.1 followed by 20% patients who had uric acid level between 4.5-5.9 (p<0.001). Uric acid level was comparable between smoker and non-smokers (p=0.803), alcoholic and non-alcoholic (p=0.086), hypertensive and non-hypertensive (p=0.668), patients with and without diabetes (p=0.278) and patients with a history of IHD and without history of IHD (p=0.403).Conclusions: Serum uric acid may be useful for prognostication among those with pre-existing AMI.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of mortality all over the world. Elevated serum uric acid is highly predictive of mortality in patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease. We conducted this study to assess serum uric acid levels on admission as a potential predictor of short-term mortality (7 days) in acute myocardial infarction patients. Methodology: Total of 200 patients diagnosed with the myocardial infarction (MI) in our hospital along with 200 age and gender matched controls were selected for this study. The clinical history, examination, ECG changes and biochemical markers were evaluated on day 0, 3 and 7. Association with Killips class and mortality in STEMI / NSTEMI cases was done. Results: The study had 200 cases and 200 controls. The mean age of cases was 62.54 ± 18.24 years and controls was 61.94±17.25 years. There were majority males among both cases 114 (57%) and controls 112 (56%). The patients were classified using Killip’s class. Majority belong to class I 98 (49%) followed by II 42 (21%). There were 26 (13%) of class III and 34 (17%) into class IV. There is significant difference seen between uric acid levels of cases and control on day 1, 3 and 7 (p<0.001). There was 25% mortality (50 deaths) seen among the cases. There was association seen between Killips class III & IV and mortality, there was higher mortality seen in STEMI as compared to NSTEMI (i.e. p<0.05). Conclusion: Our study concludes that the serum uric acid (SUA) levels have significant association with Killip‘s class and mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction cases.
