Implication

May warrant closer surveillance of mild lesions and uric acid in CAD; extends prior observations but requires validation in prospective trials.

Population

41 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent coronary angiography at least twice (mean interval 26 months), excluding those who underwent angioplasty or bypass surgery before the second angiogram. Mean age 55±9 years, 36 males and 5 females.

Outcome

Angiographic progression of coronary artery disease, defined as an increase in % stenosis by ≥20%, decrease in minimal diameter by ≥0.5mm, or any new occlusion.surrogate

Coronary artery disease progression and subsequent acute myocardial infarctions frequently arise from initially non-obstructive lesions, with uric acid levels and baseline lesion burden serving as independent predictors of progression.
