Serum Uric Acid as a Marker of Coronary Calcification in Patients with Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease with Preserved Left Ventricular Pump Function

Objective. To evaluate the interrelation between serum uric acid and artery calcification in asymptomatic coronary artery disease subjects. Design and Methods. 126 subjects with previously documented asymptomatic coronary artery disease were enrolled in the study. Results. Mean value of serum uric acid level was 23.84 mmol/L (95% confidence interval (CI) = 15.75–31.25 mmol/L). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, the results showed that serum uric acid levels (odds ratio OR=1.42, 95% CI = 1.20–1.82; P
