Analysis of Relationship between Hyperuricemia and Acute Myocardial Infarction in Highland Regions

Objective To investigate the relationship between Acute Myocardial Infarction(AMI) and serum uric acid level in highland regions. Methods58 cases of AMI(observation group) and 62 healthy adults who underwent medical examination(control group) during January 2007 and May 2010 received serum uric acid test,and the results were compared.The patients in observation group were divided into low-grade group(with only one region of infarct,n=30) and high-grade group(with more than 2 regions of infarct or severe complications,n=28),and the relation of genetic condition,prognosis and serum uric acid levels were compared. ResultsThe average uric acid levels in observation group was(438±94) μmol/L,and(312±92) μmol/L in the control group,and there was significant difference between the two groups(t=7.42,P0.05).The average uric acid levels in fantasy group 1 was(498±94) μmol/L,and(415±89) μmol/L in low-grade group,and there was significant difference between the two groups(t=3.45,P0.05). ConclusionHyperuricemia is one of the important risk factors of AMI in highland region,and serum uric acid levels are significantly related with occurrence,progress and prognosis of AMI.
