Objectives: This study aims to scientifically fill the gap and provide the scientific data regarding frequency of hyperuricemia in the patients with acute myocardial Infarction admitted at Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Hyderabad. Study Design: Prospective descriptive case series. Setting: Department of Cardiology, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Hyderabad. Period: From 7th Feb 2016 to 6th August 2018. Material and Methods: Was conducted on either gender having age ≥35 to ≤70 years presented with ST elevation myocardial infarction was included in the study. ECG and laboratory investigations were carried out. Relevant investigation like serum uric acid was sent to laboratory. Final outcome was assessed at the end of 5th day, hyperuricemia was labeled if serum uric acid levels above 6.5 mg/dl. All the information was noted in proforma and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Results: There were 95 male and 50 female patients. The mean age was 49.57 ± 8.53 years, with range 35 (35 - 70) years. The age of 49 (33.8%) patients was ≤45 years and age of 96 (66.2%) patients was >45 years. 17.9% patients were obese and 50.3% patients were hypertensive. The hyperuricemia was present in 27 (18.6%) patients.  Among patients who were found with hyperuricemia, the mean age was 49.41 ± 8.34 years. The results showed that significant association of hyperuricemia was observed with obesity.  No significant association of hyperuricemia was observed with gender, age, and hypertension. Conclusion: Based on the findings of our study, raised serum uric acid levels are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome. The prevalence of hyperuricemia is high in a population of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

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.

Background : Aim of the study was to discover if there is the efficacy of serum uric acid in the prognostication of myocardial infarction subjects. Subjects and Methods: A total of 200 subjects were incorporated into the research. Of them, 74 patients had ST- elevated myocardial infarction, as in 26 subjects they were diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Of the total of 100 subjects in the study group, there were 70 males and 30 females. A total of 100 healthy individuals as a control group were also incorporated in the study. Serum uric acid was measured on day 0, 3, 7 as well on day 30 of MI. Results: Serum uric acid was calculated on day 0, day 3, and day 7 and on day 30 of the myocardial infarction in the case study group. The mean uric acid levels on day 0 were found to be 6.32 1.45 mg/dl, mean uric acid level on day 3 was found to be 5.98 0.98 mg/dl, mean uric acid level on day 7 was found to be 5.14 2.18 mg/dl and mean uric acid level on day 30 was found to be 4.98 0.44 mg/dl. Conclusion: Serum uric acid stages are elevated in subjects of acute MI in contrast to standard well individuals. Subjects with higher Serum uric acid levels have an elevated probability of transience and it can be measured as a marker of appalling prediction.
