Key result
Serum uric acid levels are increasingly correlated with cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and atrial fibrillation, suggesting a potential role in AF pathophysiology.
There is a growing body of evidence correlating serum uric acid with atrial fibrillation, raising questions about its pathophysiological role.
Does not warrant uric acid testing in AF; leaves open causal role in pathophysiology.
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a significant health concern, due to the increased prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: There is a growing body of evidence correlating serum uric acid (SUA) with cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and AF. CONCLUSION: Thus, a question arises as to whether SUA levels have a role in the pathophysiology of AF development.

Athanasios Manolis (2017) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Serum uric acid was evaluated. Serum uric acid levels are increasingly correlated with cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and atrial fibrillation, suggesting a potential role in AF pathophysiology.
