Dr. Shamim Ahmad Khan, Dr. Abdul Mateen Ansari

Background: The present study was conducted to assess serum uric acid level in patients with myocardial infarction. Materials & Methods: In 80 patients with MI, the concentration of uric acid was measured by a method of uric acid enzyme and enzymatic peroxides. Results: There were 60 males and 20 females. Diastolic dysfunction grade I was seen in 16, II in 32, III in 20 and IV in 12 patients. The mean uric acid level in grade I patients was 8.2 mg/dl, in grade II was 7.4 mg/dl, in grade III was 7.2 mg/dl and in grade IV was 7.9 mg/dl. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). 42 patients received medicinal therapy, 21 PCI and 17 patients received CABG. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that myocardial infarction patients had higher serum uric acid level and it vary based on diastolic dysfunction grade. Key words: Diastolic dysfunction grade, Myocardial infarction, Uric acid
