Abstract
Aim: The present study was done to find out the relationship between serum uric acid levels and Heart failure. Material and Method: The study was carried out in Chattrapati Shivaji Subharti Hospital, Meerut in the Department of Medicine. 50 cases of both sex aged between 20 to 80 years with clinical evidence of heart failure were enrolled in this study. All patients with documented evidence (2D echo Based) of heart failure and having heart failure treatment were included in the study. The data was collected by a preformed structured interviewer-administered questionnaire that was pretested with modifications made prior to its use in the study. The patients were interviewed that requests for the demographic, medical history and previous history of taking any medications and supplements. Two-dimensional echocardiography was done in the cardiology department for all patients. Serum uric acid levels were measured on admission for all the 50 patients. Results: Higher uric acid was reported among 68.42% and 44.44% of the male and female respectively. It can be appreciated from the results that as the NYHA class increases, Uric Acid level also increases. Mean uric acid level was 5.92±1.67 and 8.22±2.28 among survivor and non-survivor subjects respectively with statistically significant difference as p<0.05. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study found that hyperuricemia is related to a more prominent frequency of heart failure and hyperuricemia is an indicator of all reason mortality in patients with heart failure.
