SIGNIFICANCE OF SERUM URIC ACID LEVEL IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Dr. M. Subramani, Dr. L. Muthumani

Abstract :

 Acute Myocardial Infarction is the leading cause of mortality in both developed and developing countries. Factors contributing to death following Acute Myocardial Infarction  relate mainly to electrical disturbances in the form of Arrhythmia and mechanical disturbances in the form of pump failure. Many trials have been conducted to identify markers that would be helpful to predict the risk of such adverse cardiac events.Those  trials have used serum Magnesium level, C–Reactive Protein levels, Malonyldialdehyde, white blood cell count as a predictor for mortality and morbidity and  risk of developing adverse cardiac events like sudden cardiac death and congestive heart failure .This study is one of such kind in that it tries to validate the prognostic role of serum uric acid level following acute myocardial infarction.
