The uric acid-to-albumin ratio was inversely associated with left ventricular diastolic function, including peak filling rate (r=-0.22) and one-third mean filling rate (r=-0.23).
Observational (n=216)
No
Is the uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR) associated with LV diastolic parameters in patients with no significant perfusion abnormalities?
Effect estimate: r = -0.22 (PFR), r = -0.23 (1/3 MFR)
p-value: p=0.001
The ratio of uric acid to albumin is a marker of not only inflammation, but also prognosis of cardiovascular disease. However, whether this ratio is associated with left ventricular (LV) diastolic function remains unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that the uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR) is associated with LV diastolic parameters derived from gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with no significant perfusion abnormalities.
Kawaguchi et al. (Fri,) conducted a observational in Known or suspected coronary artery disease with no significant perfusion abnormalities (n=216). Uric Acid-to-Albumin Ratio (UAR) vs. Lower UAR quartiles was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic parameters (peak filling rate and one-third mean filling rate) (r = -0.22 (PFR), r = -0.23 (1/3 MFR), p=0.001). The uric acid-to-albumin ratio was inversely associated with left ventricular diastolic function, including peak filling rate (r=-0.22) and one-third mean filling rate (r=-0.23).
