Key result
Elevated serum uric acid level was an independent predictor for the presence of slow coronary flow (beta=0.54, P<0.001) and mean TIMI frame count (beta=0.298, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Is serum uric acid level associated with slow coronary flow and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count?
Case-Control (n=433)
Is serum uric acid level associated with slow coronary flow and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count?
Effect estimate: beta=0.54
p-value: p=<0.001
Elevated serum uric acid is independently associated with slow coronary flow and higher TIMI frame counts, suggesting a potential role in coronary microvascular or endothelial dysfunction.

Hypothesis-generating for uric acid in slow coronary flow; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Yıldız et al. (2007) conducted a case-control in Slow coronary flow (n=433). Serum uric acid level was evaluated on Presence of slow coronary flow (SCF) (beta=0.54, p=<0.001). Elevated serum uric acid level was an independent predictor for the presence of slow coronary flow (beta=0.54, P<0.001) and mean TIMI frame count (beta=0.298, P<0.001).
