Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and its impact on in-hospital outcomes.
- Conducted at Ayub Teaching Hospital from September 2018 to February 2019, the study involved 199 ACS patients, analyzing their uric acid levels and associated complications during hospitalization.
- Results show that 25.13% of patients had hyperuricemia, which was linked to increased cases of cardiogenic shock and other complications, highlighting the need for regular uric acid monitoring in at-risk populations.
Background: Cardiac Troponins are established markers of myocardial injury; however, they may be elevated in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients even in absence of acute myocardial infarction. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of elevated Troponin T in patients of chronic renal failure without clinically suspected acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Medical B Unit of Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad from 16th December 2013 to 16th June 2014.
