The results showed that patients who have suffered from large-artery atherosclerosis, relative to small-artery occlusion patients, were characterized by elevated serum uric acid but reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Logistic regression showed that elevated uric acid and lower triglyceride levels were the main risk factors for patients with large-artery atherosclerosis. The findings of this study suggest that hyperuricemia may be a risk factor for stroke.展开更多

This observational prospective study investigates the association of serum uric acid （SUA） levels with adverse cardiovascular events and deaths in an elderly population affected by advanced atherosclerosis. Methods Two hundred and seventy six elderly patients affected by advanced atherosclerosis （217 males and 59 females; aged 71.2 ±7.8 years） were included. All patients were assessed for history of cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity and traditional risk factors. Patients were followed for approximately 31 ±11 months. Major events were recorded during follow-up, defined as myocardial infarction, cerebral isehemia, myocardial and/or peripheral revascularization and death. Results Mean SUA level was 5.47 ±1.43 mg/dL; then we further divided the population in two groups, according to the median value （5.36 mg/dL）. During a median follow up of 31 months （5 to 49 months）, 66 cardiovascular events, 9 fatal cardiovascular events and 14 cancer-related deaths have occurred. The patients with increased SUA level presented a higher significant incidence of total cardiovascular events （HR： 1.867, P = 0.014, 95% CI： 1.134-3.074）, The same patients showed a significant increased risk of cancer-related death （HR： 4.335, P = 0.025, 95% CI： 1.204-15.606）. Conclusions Increased SUA levels are independently and significantly associated with risk of cardiovascular events and cancer related death in a population of mainly elderly patients affected by peripheral vasculopathy.展开更多

The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between SUA levels and the severity of coronary artery disease(CAD) assessed by angiography and the Syntax score in patients with obstructive CAD.Methods Participants who visited our hospital for a coronary angiography, from December 2007 to September 2012, were eligible for this analysis. SUA and other blood parameters after at least 12-hour fast were determined. First, the patients were divided into tertiles according to their Syntax scores(low Syntax score group: Syntax score ≤10.0; moderate Syntax score group: 10.0 <Syntax score ≤18.0; high Syntax score group: Syntax score >18.0). Second, to clarify the association between SUA levels and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs), all patients were divided into two subgroups on the basis of SUA levels. The cutoff value of SUA was defined by diagnostic criteria of hyperuricemia. Patients were separated into normal SUA group(n=251, with SUA <416 μmol/L for men and SUA <357 μmol/L for women) and high SUA group(n=96, with SUA ≥416 μmol/L for men and SUA ≥357 μmol/L for women). All participants were followed for a mean of 22.0 months(1–75 months, interquartile range: 28 months) for major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs), including all-cause death, recurrent nonfatal myocardial infarction(re-MI) and recurrent percutaneous coronary intervention(re-PCI). Results A total of 347 patients were registered for the study. The SUA levels in the high Syntax score group were significantly higher than that of the moderate Syntax score group and the low Syntax score group((392.3±81.6) μmol/L vs.(329.9±71.0) μmol/L, P <0.001;(392.3±81.6) μmol/L vs.(311.4±64.7) μmol/L, P <0.001). The SUA level was positively correlated not only with the Syntax score(r=0.421, P <0.001; 95% CI: 0.333–0.512), but also with the number of diseased vessels(r=0.298, P <0.001; 95% CI: 0.194–0.396). After multiple linear regression analysis, SUA levels were identified to be independently correlated with a high Syntax score(B=0.033, 95% CI 0.023–0.042, P <0.001). Compared with the normal SUA subgroup, the high SUA subgroup tended to have a higher Syntax score(19.9±8.7 vs. 13.6±7.5, P <0.001) and more multi-vessel disease(70.8% vs. 46.6%, P <0.001). Follow-up data showed a higher incidence of MACE in the high SUA subgroup(20.8% vs. 6.0%, P <0.001). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that the elevated SUA can predict the long-term prognosis of patients with obstructive CAD(OR=2.968, 95% CI 1.256–7.011, P=0.013). KaplanMeier analysis showed a significantly lower event-free survival rate in patients with high SUA levels than in the normal SUA subgroup(79.2% vs. 94.0%, Log rank=17.645, P <0.001). Conclusions SUA levels were independently associated with the severity of CAD in patients with obstructive CAD. An elevated SUA is associated with cardiovascular events and may be useful as a biomarker of the severity of CAD.展开更多
