| Abstract: | Acute myocardial infarction continues to be a significant health problem In industrialized countries & increasingly significant problem in developing Countries. ST elevation MI constitutes approximately 40% of all AMI. Serum uric acid produced from xanthine & hypoxanthine (purines) by xanthine oxidase. Serum uric acid (UA) levels reflect circulating xanthine oxidase activity and oxidative stress production. Hyperuricemia is associated with deleterious effects on endothelial dysfunction, oxidative metabolism, platelet adhesiveness, haemorrheology, and aggregation. Hence this study is conducted to know the prognostic significance of serum uric acid levels in acute myocardial infarction |
