Abstract

Cardiovascular disorders account for almost one-third of all fatalities globally. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the most common cardiovascular disease. It is debatable if uric acid has a predictive or risk factor function in cardiovascular disease. Numerous studies have suggested that uric acid may indicate a poor prognosis for patients with acute myocardial infarction, however some study has found no connection between serum uric acid levels and fatality rates. Several studies have revealed a potential relationship between high blood uric acid levels and prognosis in individuals with acute coronary syndromes. Current study was conducted to determine serum uric acid level and its clinical outcome in patients with acute ST elevation Myocardial Infarction. Methodology: The study was conducted at a tertiary acre hospital for period of 18 months. The sample size taken for this study was 54 patients, who were diagnosed with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Blood samples were obtained. Uric acid and other biochemical parameters were measured. Result: Patients age and BMI does not associate with s. uric acid level. There was no association between S. uric acid level and history of hypertension, Diabetes. Patients history of coronary artery disease is not significantly associated with s. uric acid level of patients. Conclusion- Blood uric acid levels have a predictive role in acute STEMI patients.
