Background: Serum uric acid is increased in ischemic conditions and is significantly higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The aim of study was to correlate serum uric acid level with KILLIP class in respect of mortality and morbidity profile of patients with acute coronary syndromes..Methods: 100 patients fulfilling the standard diagnostic criteria for acute coronary syndromes on the basis of classical history, clinical signs, ECG changes and biomarkers were included in the study. Age and sex matched 50 normal healthy subjects were also included as control group after obtaining informed consent.  Serum uric acid level was measured on day 0, 3 and 7 of various ACS.Results: There was statistically significant higher level of serum uric acid concentration in patients of AMI on day of admission as compared to controls and unstable angina patients. On all three days of serum uric acid estimation, the serum uric acid levels were higher in AMI patients who were in higher KILLIP class as compared to lower KILLIP class group. Smokers had significantly higher baseline serum uric acid but age, sex, dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus did not significantly affect serum uric acid level at any stage in various ACS patients. Five patients who died during hospital stay, had serum uric acid level more than 7.0 mg/dL and all of them were in KILLIP class III and IV.Conclusions: serum uric acid level is a strong and independent risk factor in predicting mortality and morbidity profile of patients of acute myocardial infarction. Also, serum uric acid level correlates well with KILLIP class.

Background: The study was conducted to correlate serum uric acid levels with Killip class i.e. severity of heart failure in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to assess any influence of serum uric acid levels on in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients.Methods: Authors evaluated 250 consecutive (STEMI) patients who were hospitalized within 24 hours of symptom onset from September 2015 to august 2017. Detailed history, physical examination was done as per a structured proforma and necessary laboratory investigations were done.Results: There was significant difference in mean serum uric acid level between diabetic and non-diabetic population. There was significant difference in mean uric acid level between hypertensive and non-hypertensive population. Serum uric acid level was high among STEMI patients with Killip class III and IV and low among patients with Killip class I and II. The higher the uric acid level was, the higher was the percentage of mortality during 5 days hospital course.Conclusions: Patients of higher Killip class had higher levels of serum uric acid as compared to patients of lower Killip class. Serum uric acid level when combined with Killip class is a good predictor of severity of heart failure and short-term mortality after STEMI.

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.

The Relationship

Background: Present evidence shows that increased uric acid level is a negative prognostic factor in patients with moderate to severe heart failure. A study has highlighted a correlation between serum uric acid levels and Killip class in patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Aim of this study the relationship between serum uric acid level and Killip classification in patients with AMI.Methods: Sixty patients with AMI were studied prospectively in Department of Medicine/ Department of Cardiology, JA Group of Hospitals between 2016-2018. Patients were grouped based on the Killip class. Age, sex, history of smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension and diabetes were recorded. Serum uric acid level were measured on Day 1, 3 and 5, which was compared with Killip class.Results: Majority of the patients were males (65%) and had age between (28.3%) 51-60 years. No significant association was obtained between any risk factors of AMI and Killip’s class (p>0.05). Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in Killip grade III (7.80±3.57) as compared to Killip’s grade II (6.64±2.88) and I (6.30±2.33) (p=0.014). Majority of the patients with Killip’s grades I and II, had uric acid level ≤7.0 mg/dl (n=18 and n=9 respectively) (p=0.040). Serum uric acid was equally distributed among different types of killip’s grades between patients who expired and survived. (p>0.05).Conclusions: Serum uric acid levels has been found to be well correlated with Killip classification in patients with AMI. Combination of Killip class and serum uric acid level after AMI is a good predictor of mortality after AMI.
